QoS Guaranteed and Adaptive Downstream Bandwidth Utilization Scheme for Ethernet Passive Optical Networks

摘要

cqvip:Dynamic bandwidth allocation(DBA) is an open and hot topic in the Ethernet passive optical network(EPON) ,which is regarded as one of the best choices for next-generation access networks. 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.
