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

Three important parameters as the bound on max and minimum bandwidth, the maximum packet delay and the minimum bandwidth utilization are discussed and analyzed. Results of experiments show that the DFBU-algorithm is capable of making a single link in the system use all the spare bandwidth （up to full-bandwidth） while the performance of fairness and QoS requirement is still guaranteed.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

However,most proposed DBA schemes ignore the quality of service（QoS） guarantee on maximum delay and delay jitter for the real-time traffic and the downstream bandwidth utilization under light upstream load in EPON. In this paper,a new DBA scheme,QoS guaranteed adaptive downstream bandwidth utilization（QoS-ADBU）,is proposed. This scheme can provide better QoS assurance by determining the maximum transmission cycle time according to the maximum acceptable packet delay and delay jitter for real-time traffic. Besides,the downstream utilization can also be improved by adapting the polling frequency to downstream traffic load.展开更多
