Performance Analysis of Duty-Cycle Division Multiplexing over Wavelength Division Multiplexing System

Abstract

Performance optimization of a duty-cycle division multiplexing system over 8- and 40-channel wavelength division multiplexing networks is reported in this article. The modified duty-cycle division multiplexing system with optical domain multiplexing using a dual-drive Mach–Zehnder modulator is simulated with two and three users per wavelength. Using conventional dispersion compensation, the 40 × 40-Gbps system with two and three users per channel can support 240 and 160 km of transmission distance, respectively. The dispersion management technique based on a chirped fiber Bragg grating is proposed for a 40 × 3 × 13.33-Gbps duty-cycle division multiplexing/wavelength division multiplexing system that allows double the transmission distance compared to conventional technique.     

Energy-Efficient Next-Generation Passive Optical Networks Based on Sleep Mode and Heuristic Optimization

Abstract

In this article, an energy-efficiency mechanism for next-generation passive optical networks is investigated through heuristic particle swarm optimization. Ten-gigabit Ethernet–wavelength division multiplexing optical code division multiplexing–passive optical network next-generation passive optical networks are based on the use of a legacy 10-gigabit Ethernet–passive optical network with the advantage of using only an en/decoder pair of optical code division multiplexing technology, thus eliminating the en/decoder at each optical network unit. The proposed joint mechanism is based on the sleep-mode power-saving scheme for a 10-gigabit Ethernet–passive optical network, combined with a power control procedure aiming to adjust the transmitted power of the active optical network units while maximizing the overall energy-efficiency network. The particle swarm optimization based power control algorithm establishes the optimal transmitted power in each optical network unit according to the network pre-defined quality of service requirements. The objective is controlling the power consumption of the optical network unit according to the traffic demand by adjusting its transmitter power in an attempt to maximize the number of transmitted bits with minimum energy consumption, achieving maximal system energy efficiency. Numerical results have revealed that it is possible to save 75% of energy consumption with the proposed particle swarm optimization based sleep-mode energy-efficiency mechanism compared to 55% energy savings when just a sleeping-mode-based mechanism is deployed.     

A Novel Wavelength Division Multiplexing Passive Optical Network Based on Self-Seeding Light Source and Doubling Wavelength-Utilized Rate

Abstract

A wavelength-utilized rate-doubled wavelength division multiplexing passive optical network based on a self-seeding light source is proposed. The effect of distributed fiber length and power division ratio on the upstream-signal power is analyzed; the result indicates that raising the power division ratio can increase the upstream-signal power when it is lower than 0.86. The power difference between upstream signals caused by the length difference of distributed fibers is also expanded with power division ratio; thus, the power division ratio should be decreased to a proper level to reduce the power difference when the length difference is too large.     

Cyclic polling-based dynamic wavelength and bandwidth allocation in wavelength division multiplexing passive optical networks

Cyclic polling-based dynamic wavelength and bandwidth allocation algorithm supporting differentiated classes of services in wavelength division multiplexing （WDM） passive optical networks （PONs） is proposed. In this algorithm, the optical line terminal （OLT） polls for optical network unit （ONU） requests to transmit data in a cyclic manner. Services are categorized into three classes： expedited forward （EF） priority, assured forwarding （AF） priority, and best effort （BE） priority. The OLT assigns bandwidth for different priorities with different strategies. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm saves a lot of downstream bandwidth under low load and does not show the light-load penalty compared with the simultaneous and interleaved polling schemes.

Both modules can provide gain-flattening characteristics over a large input dynamic range. The FBGs integrated OLA configuration has potential application in wavelength division multiplexing lightwave communication systems.

Fast Restoration Based on Alternative Wavelength Paths in a Wide Area Optical IP Network

Abstract

In this article we describe an experimental investigation of IP network restoration based on wavelength recovery. We propose a procedure for metro and wide area gigabit Ethernet networks that allows us to route the wavelength in case of link failure to another existing link by exploiting wavelength division multiplexing in the fiber. Such a procedure is obtained by means of an optical switch that is managed by a loss-of-light signal that is generated by a router in case of link failure. Such a method has been tested in an IP network consisting of three core routers with optical gigabit Ethernet interfaces connected by means of 50-km-long single-mode fibers between Rome and Pomezia. Compared with other conventional restoration techniques, such as OSPF and MPLS, our method -in very fast (20 ms) and is compatible with real-time TV services and low-cost chips.

A Reconfigurable Microwave Photonic Channelized Receiver Based on Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing Using an Optical Comb

A photonic approach to implementing a microwave channelized receiver based on dense wavelength division multiplexing using an optical comb is proposed. In the approach, a flat optical comb with 11 comb lines is generated using two cascaded Mach-Zehnder modulators. Frequency analysis of a microwave signal with multiple-frequency components is realized by using the optical comb together with an optical etalon with a periodic transfer function, a wavelength division multiplexer (WDM) and a photodetector array. The system is investigated numerically. Frequency measurement of a multi-frequency signal with a measurement range from 0.5-11.5 with an accuracy of ± 0.5 GHz is achieved. The reconfigurability of the system realized by tuning the comb-line spacing and the peak positions of the etalon is also evaluated. The improvement of the dynamic range of the system using an optimized periodic filter is also discussed.

Abstract

The impact of the compensator's location along the optical fiber on a variation of four-wave mixing power penalty is investigated theoretically and numerically for dispersion-managed fibers in wavelength division multiplexing systems.

Physical layer performance analysis of hybrid and stacked TDM–WDM 40G-PON for next generation PON

Current passive optical networks (PONs) (Gigabit PON (GPON) and Ethernet PON (EPON)) will run out of bandwidth sooner or later due to the ever increasing bandwidth demand. The aforementioned and the new next generation PON stage 1 (NG-PON1) standards (10 Gigabit-PON (XG-PON) and 10 Gigabit Ethernet-PON (10G-EPON)) are based on time division multiplexing (TDM-PON), which has its limitations such as limited bandwidth. In this paper, hybrid TDM–WDM PON and stacked TDM-PON architectures are evaluated and compared as solutions for NG-PON stage 2 (NG-PON2). Both architectures are fully capable of satisfying the requirements of NG-PON2. Stacked TDM-PON has the advantage of being compatible with the currently deployed optical distribution network (ODN). Considering four wavelengths and 10 Gb/s/wavelength, the hybrid TDM–WDM PON does not seem to offer noticeable advantages over stacked TDM-PON.

Four-dimensional scheduling for uplink dynamic bandwidth allocation in OFDM-PON

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing passive optical network (OFDM-PON) has been considered a promising access solution to meet the variable bandwidth demand. In this paper, a novel scheduling for dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) at medium access control (MAC) layer is proposed for uplink transmission of OFDM-PON. In order to utilize the bandwidth efficiently, scheduling in four dimensions is adopted in the proposed DBA algorithm. Four dimensions stand for frequency domains, time domains, modulation formats and power allocations. The algorithm is quite flexible. Simulation results and analysis show that the proposed algorithm can efficiently utilize the OFDM bandwidth and make the system highly energy-efficient.

Abstract

This work considers different unbundling options for local loop unbundling in order to provide multi-operator access and consider the economical impact for the fiber-to-the-home next-generation access entrants to deploy such alternatives. It is shown that deploying wavelength division multiplexing networks is an efficient strategy to perform local loop unbundling while upgrading the gigabit passive optical network for the new era where high bandwidths are necessary for satisfying customer demand. In areas with a high population density, wavelength division multiplexing techniques are the most suitable for entrant operators to access the incumbent's network and provide service.
