A multi-OLT PON architecture is proposed to accommodate several types of services or multiple service providers economically in a single PON. The operation protocol and a dynamic bandwidth allocation scheme appropriate for two-OLT structure are proposed. Performance analysis shows that the proposed system is very efficient and can be used in the upcoming higher speed PON system.

In this paper, we develope the simulation model for Ethernet passive optical networks (Ethernet-PON) by using OPNET. Ethernet-PON is an emerging access network technology that provides a low-cost method of deploying optical access lines. The simulator uses a Request/Grant TDMA MAC protocol based on IEEE 802.3ah EFM. It also executes registration, ranging and dynamic bandwidth allocation algorithm by exchanging control packets between OLT and ONUs. We have evaluated for success ratio of initial registration process and delay of late registration process. We also have simulated for dynamic TDMA protocol and static TDMA protocol in terms of channel utilization and queueing delay. We expect that this simulator can help to determine various parameters which are considered for designing Ethernet-PON system.

Ethernet passive optical network (EPON) has drawn many attention as a promising access network technology because it can provide a high bandwidth with a low cost. Since the uplink in the EPON system is shared by many users, it is necessary for an EPON system to have an efficient bandwidth allocation mechanism. In addition, as the users demand more QoS-oriented applications, it is necessary for an EPON system to have an efficient mechanism supporting QoS. In this paper, we propose a variable window dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) algorithm for the EPON system. Unlike the previously proposed DBA algorithms, the variable window algorithm guarantees the QoS for the highest priority class, and at the same time provides more enhanced QoS for the lower priority classes by dynamically allocating bandwidth if necessary. It is verified through the simulations that the variable window algorithm can provide more enhanced QoS performance than other DBA algorithms.

Wireless link has high bit error rate compared with wired link and many users share this limited bandwidth. So it needs more powerful error control code and efficient media access control(MAC) to provide multimedia service reliably. In this paper we proposed efficient MAC frame format based on TDMA using mini-slot for request access. The number of mini-slots is variable based on the result of collision in the previous frame. This dynamic allocation of request mini-slots helps resolve the contention situation quickly and avoids the waste of bandwidth that may occur when there are several unneeded request mini-slots. The simulation results are also presented in terms of channel utilization, call blocking probability and cell transmission delay for mixed traffic environment.

The capacity of backbone networks has largely kept pace with the tremendous of growth of Internet traffic. But there has been little progress in the access networks. In this paper, we introduce the access network that is able to offers high bandwidth and its simple protocol. The network architecture is basically multiple ring and use WDM(Wavelength Division Multiplexing), SCM (SubCarrier Multiplexing), and static WADM (Wavelenth Add/Drop Multiplexer) for simplicity, low cost, and offering high bandwidth.

Ethernet Passive Optical Network(EPON), which is one of PON technologies for realizing FTTx(Fiber-To-The-Curb/Home/Office), can cost-effectively construct optical access networks. In addition, EPON can provide high transmission rate up to 10Gbps and it is compatible with existing customer devices equipped with Ethernet card. To effectively control frame transmission from ONUs to OLT EPON can use Multi-Point Control Protocol(MPCP) with additional control functions in addition to Media Access Control(MAC) protocol function. For EPON, many researches on intra- and inter-ONU scheduling algorithms have been performed. Among the inter-ONU scheduling algorithms, IPS(Interleaved Polling with Stop) based on polling scheme is efficient because OLT assigns available time portion to each ONU given the request information from all ONUs. Since the IPS needs an idle time period on uplink between two consecutive frame transmission periods, it wastes time without frame transmissions. In this paper, we propose a dynamic bandwidth allocation algorithm to increase the channel utilization on uplink and evaluate its performance using simulations. The simulation results show that the proposed Two-phase Cycle Danamic Bandwidth Allocation(TCDBA) algorithm improves the throughput about 15%, compared with the IPS and Fast Gate Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation(FGDBA). Also, the average transmission time of the proposed algorithm is lower than those of other schemes.

Additional frequencies are allocated in maritime digital data exchange to alleviate overload of the VHF data link. The shipborne ad-hoc network (SANET) for this frequencies was subsequently proposed, which provides various IP-based services to ships on behalf of satellite communications. In SANET, a ship should determine its own IP address to achieve IP connectivity to the shore. Accordingly, this paper proposes a SANET configuration (SANETconf) protocol as an IP configuration protocol. SANETconf propagates non-overlapping IP addresses across the network from the shore to ships. A ship obtains its IP address by exchanging Request and Response messages with its neighbors. Therefore, SANETconf eliminates the process of DAD and managing the movement of ships. Extensive simulations were performed to verify the applicability of SANETconf. Based on results, 85% of the ships can determine their own IP address within one frame. Also, SANETconf has a high resource efficiency by using 0.024 percent of resources for IP configuration.

In this paper, DSPA(Dynamic Signalling Period Allocation) algorithm that has been proposed by the authors for MAC(Medium Access Control) protocols in W-ATM(Wireless Asynchronous Transfer Mode) is applied to mixed traffic conditions composed of various service classes. We investigate the bandwidth utilization efficiency and quality of service(QoS) fulfillment by the DSPA algorithm used in W-ATM MAC protocols. Simulation results indicate that the DSPA algorithm significantly increases the throughput of the system with the minimum control overhead. Moreover, QoS of each service class is well satisfied by proper and fair channel allocation to different service classes according to their requirements.

Wireless body area network(WBAN) provide communication service in the vicinity of the body. Since WBANs utilize both MICS frequency band for implant medical applications and ISM frequency band for medical and consumer electronics(CE) applications. Therefore, MAC protocols in WBAN should be designed considering flexibility between medical and CE applications. In this paper, we identify the requirements of WBAN MAC protocols and propose a WBAN MAC protocol which satisfies the requirements. In other to provide transmission flexibility for various applications. we present the dynamic CFP allocation and opportunity period. Extensive simulation result show that the proposed protocol achieves improved throughput and latency in WEAN environment cimpared with IEEE 802.15.4.
