Dynamic Wavelength and Bandwidth Allocation Using Adaptive Linear Prediction in WDM/TDM Ethernet Passive Optical Networks

Hybrid wavelength-division-multiplexing(WDM)/time-division-multiplexing(TDM) ethernet passive optical networks(EPONs) can achieve low per-subscriber cost and scalability to increase the number of subscribers. 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.

Bandwidth allocation algorithm for aggregated tree in optical networks

Wavelength and bandwidth allocation is important for multicast communication in optical networks. In this paper,a new method based on scheduling theory is proposed. The proposed method formulates wavelength bandwidth capacity as a large rectangle and these multicast stream bandwidth requirements as small rectangles. It treats the wavelength and bandwidth allocation question as a rectangle packing problem. The proposed algorithm solves the problem by taking quasi-human strategy with Euclidian distance. It is an effective heuristic algorithm to quickly solve multicast stream bandwidth allocation problem in optical networks by theoretic analysis. Further simulation experiments show the bandwidth allocation algorithm can increase network utilization and have a good fairness performance for unicast stream and multicast stream in optical networks. The results indicate the effectiveness of the algorithm.
