This paper deals with a physical access network design problem arising from the deployment of fiber-to-the-home passive optical networks (FTTH-PON). The problem seeks to find an optimal location and capacity assignment of splitters in the network such that the total cost of fiber and splitter is minimized, while satisfying all the demand. We propose tabu search approach for finding a good feasible solution.

A WDM/SCM multiple access protocol suitable for optical double star networks is proposed. A node-grouping scheme is employed in the protocol, which is accomplished by connecting some nodes through passive star sub-hubs forming a group. The resulting multiple groups in a network are then connected through a central passive star hub resulting in a passive double star network. Each group is pre-assigned a WDM channel as its home channel, and SCM channels are used to identify the packet reception at each node. [n the proposed protocol, the average packet delay is remarkably reduced since the frame consists of the number of groups rather than the number of network nodes. Furthermore, additional reduction of the average packet delay is achieved by limiting the propagation paths of control packets to the roundtrip between source nodes and sub-hub using a double star network. It is shown in the performance evaluations using analytic and simulation model that the proposed protocol has the advantages of the higher channel utilization and excellent network throughput and average packet delay characteristic.

Because of the rapid increase of mobile traffic, flexible broadband supportive unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based 6G mobile networks using free space optical (FSO) links have been recently proposed. Considering the advancements made in UAVs, big data processing, and artificial intelligence precision control technologies, the formation of an additional wireless network based on UAV aerial platforms to assist the existing fixed base stations of the mobile radio access network is considered a highly viable option in the near future. In this paper, a combined time bound optimization scheme is proposed that can adaptively satisfy the control and communication time constraints as well as the processing time constraints in FSO-based 6G UAV aerial networks. The proposed scheme controls the relation between the number of data flows, input data rate, number of worker nodes considering the time bounds, and the errors that occur during communication and data processing. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme is very effective in satisfying the time constraints for UAV control and radio access network services, even when errors in communication and data processing may occur.

In this paper, we propose a protection architecture of passive optical network (PON) system by using two optical line terminals (OLTs). Using this scheme, the network can sustain services to access area and restores normal operation in faulty conditions. Unlike existing systems, the proposed one increases the efficiency of the system by operating both OLTs using different wavelengths in normal condition. During protection mode, a Shared-bandwidth allocation scheme is employed to maximize the utilization efficiency. Performance analysis shows that the proposed scheme can provide reliability to Ethernet-based PON system very efficiently.

A variety of systems have been attempted for effective urban management. In this paper we introduce the Integrated Urban Management System (IUMS), which consists mainly of an optical line terminal (OLT), optical network terminals (ONTs) and wireless access points (APs), by combining passive optical network (PON) and radio over fiber (RoF) technologies so as to take advantage of both systems. Further, several IUMS services such as a disaster detection and prevention system (DDPS), a bus information system (BIS) and a real time location system (RTLS) we demonstrated in order to verify the employment of IUMS for the realization of a future ubiquitous city (U-city).

In this paper, we consider the problem of packet transmission in a wavelength division multiplexed(WDM) optical network. Our network model assumes that receivers are fixed-tuned and transmitters are tunable such that optical lasers assigned to transmitters have limited access to the network bandwidth: hence each node must be equipped with multiple optical lasers and/or multiple optical filters in order to maintain a single-hop network. We first analyze scheduling all-to-all packet transmissions and present optimum scheduling for all-to-all packet transmissions. We then extend the analysis to the case of arbitrary traffic demands. We show that the scheduling with arbitrary traffic demand is NP-hard. A heuristic algorithm based on list scheduling is presented. The upper bound so obtained is compared with the lower bound and provides performance guarantees with arbitrary demands. The result are applicable to arbitrary tuning delay, arbitrary number of wavelength channels and optical lasers of arbitrary tuning ranges.

We propose the asymmetric 2.5Gbps/622Mbps PON(Passive Optical Network) in order to reduce the bandwith of filter at receiver with inverse RZ(Return to Zero) code coded downstream and NRZ(Non Return to Zero) upstream re-modulation. I theoretically analyze BER(Bit Error Rate) performance and the power sensitivity with the optimal threshold level by performing simulation with MATLAB according to the types of downstream data. The results have shown that the optimal threshold level at the optical receiver could be saturated at 0.33 as the optical received power increase more than -26dBm to keep $10^{-12}$ of BER to a minimum. Also the power sensitivity is more improved by about 3dB by fixing the threshold level at 0.33 than the conventional receiver. The proposed system can be a useful technology for optical access networks with asymmetric upstream and downstream data rates because the optical receiver can be used without controlling threshold levels and that does not require a light source in optical network unit (ONU) and its control circuits in the optical line termination (OLT).

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.

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.

Optical transmission system related to network infra of ubiquitous is a essential bridge technique between metro network and access point. So, it is need to develop this technique. In this paper, we develop 1Gbps SNMP optical transmitter/receiver system based on 1 core ring-type WDM PON. The developed system can reduce number of optic fiber and doesn't need extra transmitter/receiver. Also, this system can extend nodes owing to many node per wavelength, acts rapidly against security cutting, and acts independent of protocols.
