In this model, assignment of bandwidth was made according to a periodic trace of network characteristics per application. And adjustment of transfer rate was accomplished through negotiation with applications by a bandwidth agent. This model was evaluated using network simulator 2 （NS-2）, and distinct improvements were found in respects of delay and packet loss of overall network and single flow. Finally, the model was suggested to be leveraged to multimedia applications with properties of lower delay and lower packet loss.展开更多

The data-carrying subcarriers in the inverse fast Fourier transform/fast Fourier transform(IFFT/FFT) size of1 024 points are successfully divided into three sub-channels,in which each sub-channel has 256 useful subcarriers, by using adaptive dynamic bandwidth allocation(DBA). Taking the inherent advantages of M-ary quadrature amplitude modulation(MQAM)modulation mechanism into account, the performance of the absolutely identical MQAM format over the different sub-channels for the downstream OFDMA-passive optical network(PON) is investigated based on the intensity modulation direct detection(IMDD) system by simulations. The results show that three parallel4 QAM or 16 QAM or 64 QAM OFDMA data, which are transmitted over three sub-channels, is more suitable for different sub-channel allocations, respectively. In addition, comparing with single port4/16/64 QAM OFDM over the same access system, the receiver sensitivity economizes – 0.6 d Bm, 0.6 d Bm, 4.6 d Bm at the bit error rate(BER) value of 10-3 respectively.展开更多

This paper discusses dynamic wavelength and bandwidth allocation(DWBA) algorithm in hybrid WDM/TDM EPONs.Based on the correlation structure of the variable bit rate(VBR) video traffic,we propose a quality-ofservice (QoS) supported DWBA using adaptive linear traffic prediction.Wavelength and timeslot are allocated dynamically by optical line terminal(OLT) to all optical network units(ONUs) based on the bandwidth requests and the guaranteed service level agreements(SLA) of all ONUs.Mean square error of the predicted average arriving rate of compound video traffic during waiting period is minimized through Wiener-Hopf equation.Simulation results show that the DWBA-adaptive-linear-prediction(DWBA-ALP) algorithm can significantly improve the QoS performances in terms of low delay and high bandwidth utilization.展开更多
