Abstract

To provide fairness among different ONUs in EPON, the upstream channel remains idle for some time after OLT receives the buffer status from all ONUs every cycle, which decreases the utilization and increases the delay. To solve this deficiency, we present a new grant scheduling method. The method consists of dividing ONUs into several sets where OLT can schedule ONUs in one set while others will be transmitting their traffic. This method will better utilize the bandwidth of EPON. The numerical results show that the larger the number of ONU sets is the smaller the minimum overhead becomes.
