TLDR
The article presents an Ethernet gigabit PON (GPON) system aligned with the philosophy of the evolving FSAN (full service access network) ITU-T specification, which focuses on the efficient support of any level of quality of service.Abstract:
The standardization of passive optical networks capable of transporting Ethernet frames at gigabit-per-second speeds, currently in progress in both ITU-T and IEEE, constitutes a major milestone toward cost-effective photonization of the last (aka first) mile. The article presents an Ethernet gigabit PON (GPON) system aligned with the philosophy of the evolving FSAN (full service access network) ITU-T specification, which focuses on the efficient support of any level of quality of service. The intelligence of this system, in terms of traffic quality guarantees, lies in the MAC protocol, which controls the distributed multiplexing/concentration function by allocating variable length slots to every user of the shared upstream (toward the network) medium. The way transport of information is organized in an ITU-T GPON system and the operation of a MAC protocol that preserves all QoS guarantees are presented and evaluated.read more

Investigating Polling Cycle Time with Waited-Based DBA in GPONs
TL;DR: A Waited-based Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation called WDBA is proposed which is predict the arriving real time packet based on the proportion of waiting time for multiple services over GPONs which indicates that the packet delay, throughput, and drop probability performance is better when the polling cycle time is longer.

Dimensioning of optical multicast for dynamic WDM convergent access networks Dimensionado de multicast óptico para redes WDM de acceso dinámicas convergentes
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate the impact of including extra wavelengths channels for the transmission of multicast services versus the multicast transport service using replicated unicast connections and conclude that the nominal data rate and tolerated efficiency are defined by the maximum number of out-of-profile users permitted for every multicast solution.
