CableLAB published DOCSIS 3.0 Specifications to supply broadband access to homes and small businesses. The primary technique of DOCSIS 3.0 Specification is channel bonding which provides cable operators with a flexible way to significantly increase up/downstream speeds. In this paper, we propose the upstream scheduler that serves channel bonding. Proposed scheduler consists of two sub-scheduler: bonding group scheduler and channel scheduler. Also, we propose three scheduling algorithms to allocate request bandwidth of CM to each bonding channel: equivalent scheduling algorithm, current request-based scheduling algorithm, and last grant-based scheduling algorithm. In order to evaluate the performance of these algorithms and DOCSIS 3.0 MAC protocol, we develop the DOCSIS 3.0 simulator with the network simulator, OPNET, to model DOCSIS network, CMTS, and CM. Our results show that equivalent scheduling algorithm is superior to others in the view of transmission delay and throughput and DOCSIS 3.0 protocol provides higher throughput than pre-DOCSIS 3.0 protocol.

Earlier efforts on optical access concentrated on the design of PONs for the collection and distribution portion of the access network. The PON architecture is very simple but it requires a MAC protocol for control of upstream traffic. The MAC protocol must support QoS (Quality of Service) administration function by various traffic class, efficient dynamic bandwidth assignment function, CDV (Ceil Delay Variation) minimization function etc. This paper proposes a dynamic bandwidth assignment algorithm of the MAC protocol for a broadband access network using an Ethernet Passive Optical Network supporting various traffic class. We compare our proposed with MDRR algorithm using simulation, and confirmed that our proposed Request-Counter algorithm produces shorter average cell delay.

Earlier efforts on optical access concentrated on the design of PONs for the collection and distribution portion of the access network. PON architecture is very simple but it requires MAC protocol for control of upstream traffic. This paper proposes a MAC protocol for a broadband access network using an ATM Passive Optical Network supporting CBR/rtVBR, nrtVBR, ABR aild UBR traffic. For the proposed MAC scheme, we present grant field format, minislot format, and bandwidth allocation algorithm.

In a centralized spread-spectrum packet radio network, a random assignment -transmitter-based spreading code protocol(RA-T) is proposed which permits the contention mode only in the trasmission of a preamble while avoiding collision during the data packet transmission by assigning near-orthogonal spreading codes to each user. Compared to the conventional transmitter-based code scheme, this scheme allows reduction in receiver complexity when only a small number of distinct spreading codes are employed for the preamble transmission. Throughout theoretical and simulation results, it is shown that the use of the RA-T scheme with just two or three distinct codes for the preamble packet achieves most of the performance gain.

본 논문에서는 광대역 통신망의 표준인 ATM 서비스를 무선 환경에서 지원하기 위한 무선 ATM MAC 프로토콜을 제안하였다. 유선 환경에 비하여 조건이 좋지 않은 무선환경에서는 값비싼 무선 자원을 효육적으로 이용하여 ATM 서비스 클래스의 QoS를 만족시키지는 것이 중요하다. 따라서 대역폭이 가변적인 VBR서비스의 대역 할당 요구 채널과 VBR 이외의 트래픽의 대역 할당 요구 체널을 분리함으로써 무선 자원의 효율적 이용와 ATM서비스의 모든 클래스 QoS를 동시에 지원할 수 있는 MAC프로토콜을 제안하였고 모의 실험을 통하여 성능을 평가하였다.

Passive Optical Network(PON) architecture is a very simple. However media access protocol is necessary to the PON because the ONUs should share a channel in the upsteam direction. We propose the design of dynamic bandwidth allocation algorithm for improved bandwidth utilization in the broad bandwidth access network that uses Ethernet PON. The object of our study shall be to decrease a unused remainder bandwidth of granted timeslot for a upstream traffic transmission. We propose that OLT notifies ONU of maximum transmission window during discovery and ONU request a amount under maximum transmission window after it checks a frame length. We confirm that the proposed algorithm shown improving performance from bandwidth utilization and queueing delay point of view through the simulation result.

In this paper characteristics of ATM-PON is described and a TC layer controller for ATM-PON OLT is designed. This paper proposes an algorithm of economically controlling the grant information written by CPU to dynamically allocate the upstream bandwidth on the PON among the ONUs in a fair way and of encrypting the downstream data using a lower standard of encryption, termed data churning, which is used to distinguish it from existing transmission system scramblers and higher layer encryption methods. This paper also proposes a method of allocating churning-related message into the PLOAM cell in order to synchronously change the churning key between the OLT and the ONU.

To maximize the statistical multiplexing gain in wireless ATM MAC, a centralized scheduling function must be provided for the dynamic slot assignment in the wireless ATM access point. Exploiting the dynamic parameters received in the wireless ATM access point, the centralized scheduler will execute a dynamic slot assignment to determine bandwidth required for individual wireless terminal. In this paper, we propose a new scheduling algorithm, which can effectively reduce a burden of the explicit signaling requirement of transmitting the dynamic parameters in a timely manner. We have demonstrated that the proposed approach outperforms the existing schemes in terms of the timeliness of transmitting the dynamic parameters, which is a critical factor to the performance of delay-sensitive service classes, and works as an effective means of dynamic slot assignment without heavily relying on the dynamic parameters in the wireless ATM networks.

Passive optical networks (PONs) are the emerging solution for access networks since PONs provide high bandwidth and the low operation cost. In recent, the new solution in access networks is TWDM PON which is a mixture of WDM (wavelength-division multiplexing) and TDM (time-division multiplexing). This paper proposes a new MAC (media access control) protocol for TWDM PON. In addition, this paper proposes and evaluates a new dynamic bandwidth allocation method for TWDM PON.

In this paper, an asymmetric WDM-EPON transmission scheme is proposed to be used in a high speed access network system, which is required to implement the convergence of broadcast and communication. WDM is used for downstream transmission from OLT to access nodes, satisfying wide bandwidth requirement for broadcasting and various multimedia services. And an EPON scheme, which is cheaper than WDM, is applied to upstream transmission where less bandwidth is required. A transmission test in physical layer was performed successfully and the results are provided. If ONUs are to be used in a home gateway, its protocol should be appropriate to its traffic pattern. Voice is sensitive to a time delay while data is not. A new dynamic bandwidth assignment protocol for PON system, which can cope with various types of data in access network is proposed and its performance is analysed. A maximum cycle time is specified to achieve the QoS of signals sensitive to time delay. And a minimum window is specified to prevent the downstream control signals from uprising. It is shown by simulation that the proposed EPON protocol can provide a better performance than previous ones.
