Abstract :
We design MAC protocols for two different SuperPON upgrading architectures using WDM which are considered as future broadband access network. Both protocols are based on the dynamic slot allocation in order to maximize the multiplexing gain of upstream band-width. Two different WDM-PON architectures are compared in a view of MAC performance. According to simulation, we can know that architecture-1 (in which wavelength multiplexers are placed at amplified splitter) utilizes upstream bandwidth more flexibly than architecture-2 because it shows stable distribution of transfer delay and less CDV regardless of offered load.
