Optimization of the Decision Criterion for Increasing the Bandwidth Utilization by Means of the Novel Effective DBA Algorithm in NG-PON2 Networks

In this paper, possibilities for the bandwidth and wavelength utilization in future next-generation passive optical networks are presented and reasons for realizing and utilizing of extended dynamic wavelength and bandwidth algorithms for NG-PON2 networks are analyzed. Next, principles of the effective dynamic bandwidth allocation are introduced in details, focused on the importance of the decision criterion optimization. For achieving better bandwidth utilization of dedicated wavelengths, this paper is focused on the novel effective dynamic bandwidth allocation algorithm with adaptive allocation of wavelengths to ONU units and on the optimization of the decision criterion. For analyzing the novel extended DWBA algorithm utilizing for various wavelength allocation cases possible in NG-PON2 networks, a simulation program with the enhancement of the EDBA algorithm is realized. Finally, an optimization of the decision criterion defining a minimum bandwidth utilization of the actual wavelength is executed for NG-PON2 networks based on the hybrid TWDM technique.
