As the wireless network technologies and the capability of the mobile terminals are evolving, advanced peer to peer applications for mobile users are attracting interests. In this paper, we propose the mobile P2P communication platform(MPCP) which provides transparency to the wireless network technologies and solutions to the limited resources of the mobile terminals. MPCP classifies the connection into two levels: a virtual channel and a session. A virtual channel is the network layer connection between the terminals whereas a session is the application layer connection. MPCP classifies the sessions into four types and applies different scheduling priority and data processing policies such as segmentation and reassembly. It selects proper wireless network technologies depending on the distance between the communication endpoints. To acquire dynamically changed access address, we harness the Session Initiation Protocol. We implemented MPCP on embedded Linux simulator and utilized the implementation in mobile P2P service development. For the quantitative analysis, we compared the performance of MPCP with that of ftp. Regardless of the number of simultaneous sessions, MPCP maintains the relative performance.

Ethernet passive optical networks (EPONs) are an emerging access network technology which has a point-to-multipoint topology. EPONs operate point-to-multipoint in the OLT-ONU direction, and point-to-point in the ONU-OLT direction. To support point-to-point emulation and shared LAM emulation, EPONs use multi-point control protocol (MPCP). The MPCP uses logical link identification (LLID) field for frame tagging and filtering between the OLT and ONUs. In this paper, I propose logical-group identification (LGID) for logical link-based multicasting or VLAN services in EPONs. Using LGID with new frame tagging and filtering rules, EPONs support differentiated multimedia broadcasting or multicasting services. Additionally, EPONs can support logical link-based VLAN services that divides ONUs into several subsets.

최근 가입자 망에서 다양한 멀티미디어 서비스를 저가이면서 간단한 망구조를 갖고 확장성이 뛰어나며 데이터, 음성, 비디오 서비스를 효율적으로 수용할 수 있는 EPON 기술이 요구되고있다. EPON은 하나의 OLT와 다수의 ONU가 PTMP 구조로 연결된다. OLT는 백본망에 연결되고, ONU는 가입자에 연결된다. 하나의 ONU 가 트래픽을 전달하기 위해서는 OLT 로부터 타임 슬롯을 할당 받는다. 따라서 주어진 타임슬롯에 IDLE 구간 없이 최대한으로 전송대역을 이용하기 위해서는 ONU 내에 트래픽 동적 스케줄러가 요구된다. 또한 다양한 어플리케이션의 요구를 지원하기 위해 스케줄러는 CoS가 지원되어야 한다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 OLT와의 Auto-discovery, Laser_On/OFF기능 등 가입자에게 EPON 기능을 제공하며, 다양한 서비스를 제공하도록 CoS 기반 스케줄러를 수용한 EPON ONU 의 MPCP(Multi-point Control protocol)를 구현하였다.

EPONs are a low cost, high speed solution to the bottleneck problem of broadband access networks. To support point-to-point and shared LAN emulation, EPONs use the multi-point control protocol (MPCP), which uses logical link identification (LLID) forframe tagging and filtering between the OLT and ONUs. In this paper, ONU-based multicast or multiple shared LAN emulation for IPTV services is proposed using logical group identification (LGID). Using ONUbased VLAN services, EPONs can support separate and secure connections between providers and subscribers in a simple manner. Also, differentiated IPTV channel packages can be delivered through EPONs by implementing ONU-based VLAN and IGMP snooping mechanisms.

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.

The EPON has been actively studied as one of the access networks for the economic configuration of FTTH. The EPON must support the dynamic bandwidth allocation to the subscribers in order to support the QoS due to its base on Ethernet technology EFM SG, which is actively working for the standardization of EPON, also recently decided to select DBA. Therefore in this paper, we designed a ONU buffer scheduling algorithm(AIWFQ) and a scheme of DBA(Class-based FCFS) for the OLT suitable for embodying MPCP of the EPON. In this paper, we proposed methods that the EPON system can make use of by measuring end to end process delay time and the buffer size in order to implement the algorithm by using the OPNET.

EPON의 상향 전송 방식에서는 다수의 ONU가 OLT로부터 공유된 채널에 대한 권한을 할당받아 데이터를 전송하게 되므로 EPON에서는 각각의 ONU들에게 공유된 대역폭을 공평하고 효율적으로 할당하기 위한 DBA 알고리즘이 필수적이다. 우리는 본 논문에 앞서 기존의 DBA알고리즘들의 문제점을 보안하여 Request-Counter Dynamic Bandwidth Assignment 알고리즘을 새롭게 제안하여 성능평가 및 비교 분석을 하였다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 RC-DBA 알고리즘을 적용하여 OLT의 MAC 스케줄러를 설계하고 Corebell 사의 LDS2000 FPCA ver.1.0 보드에 구현하였다. 또한 이를 검증하기 위해서 임베디드 리눅스 기반의 검증 시스템을 개발하였다.
