Optical ring services in GMPLS based mesh networks: an implementation of optical GRID

Abstract: A smart and flexible distributed optical network control scheme in GMPLS based mesh networks is presented and implemented for the optical ring topology network services which support large-scale distributed computing applications such as GRID computing.

Will 10-Gigabit Ethernet have a bright future?

Abstract: Researchers, engineers, and vendors are readying the newest Ethernet standard which promises not only faster speeds than previous versions but also important new features. The proposed 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE) standard, known as IEEE 802.3ae, would not only provide data rates of 10 Gbits per second but would also work with metropolitan and wide area networks (MANs and WANs), where ATM (asynchronous transfer mode) and Sonet (synchronous optical network) currently dominate. Ethernet and Fast Ethernet were designed to work primarily with local area networks (LANs), where they are the dominant technologies. The IEEE expects to formally adopt the 802.3ae standard this year.

On Efficiency of Ethernet Passive Optical Networks (EPONs)

Abstract: In this paper, we present a detailed and marketing - free study of all components of the upstream and downstream channel transmission overhead for Ethernet Passive Optical Networks (EPONs), excluding optional Forward Error Correction (FEC). First, the general Ethernet framing overhead is evaluated, followed by in depth analysis of each overhead component related to operation of the EPON MPCP protocol. Their overall impact on the performance of the system (especially in the upstream channel) is quantified for both best and worst case scenarios using typical system parameters, characteristic of standard EPON deployments. Based on a set of standard-based and typical EPON parameters, an estimated throughput of approximately 820 to 900 Mbit/s is available in the upstream direction, while in the downstream the effective throughput ranges from around 915 to 935 Mbit/s, producing the channel efficiency figures of 82 to 90% and 91.5 to 93.5% , respectively, relative to the effective data rate of 1 Gbit/s.

Stand-Alone and Cooperative Deep Sleep for Battery-Driven Optical Network Unit

Abstract: In the era of the Internet of Things (IoT), the access network should provide Internet connectivity to huge numbers of wireless sensor nodes that are collecting data. For most sensor nodes, the macro cells of cellular networks provide cost-effective connectivity. However, covering the remaining nodes, which are either in the out-of-service state or have short-range wireless interfaces only, is a difficult issue. For example, when deploying small cells densely to provide fuller node coverage, the cost of the small cells should be well considered. From the perspective of economy, small cells that use the passive optical network (PON) and moderately priced wireless interfaces, called fiber-wireless (Fi-Wi) in this paper, seem the most promising candidates. However, the flexibility in Fi-Wi system deployment is strictly constrained by the need for a stable power source. Because most of the PON systems have been developed for fiber to the home (FTTH), the gateway node on the customer premise continuously consumes power and thus requires a stable power source. Therefore, the key issue is how to reduce the power consumption of the Fi-Wi gateway node drastically enough to run continuously with only battery and/or solar power. Additionally, the power-saving approach must meet the requirements of the IoT applications at the same time. We focus on the deep sleep approach, which turns off almost all the components, with significant power savings at the cost of a drop in quality of service (QoS). This paper proposes methods to control the deep sleep while assuring successful packet reception.

Energy efficiency in optical networks

Abstract: This paper proposes a new framework, specifically designed for introducing and suitably managing/using green metrics in ASON/GMPLS Optical Transport Networks (OTNs). The core element of such a framework is the Green Abstraction Layer (GAL), a standard interface proposed by the ECONET project, which has been specifically designed to give a simplified a common view of power management primitives available in next-generation green network equipment. The Green Abstraction Layer allows to extract available power management settings, and to set the desired configuration into a device, hiding heterogeneous and complex details of device internal physical architecture of nodes.
