| Abstract: | A MAC(Media Access Control) protocol, one of the most important technologies for an EPON(Ethernet Passive Optical Network), contains a scheduling algorithm to avoid collisions in shared links and assigns an effective bandwidth when ONUs (Optical Network Units) transfer signals upward. The current paper proposes a MAC Protocol that operates a TDMA(Time method with a variable slot assignment to overcome short of bandwidth using by the number of n wavelength., the next generation access network. To verify the above, the current study also implements an EPON model using OPNET as the simulation tool. |
