We propose request-based dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) of gigabit passive optical network (GPON). The optical line terminal (OLT) in GPON grants bandwidth to optical network units (ONUs). ONUs report request bandwidth which depends on queue lengths of traffic containers (TCONTs) to the OLT. In the OLT, DBA of GPON supports a request-based polling order to allocate bandwidth. Our request-based dynamic bandwidth allocation focuses on weight assignments in the request-based polling order. Weight assignments allocate bandwidth in proportion to guaranteed and request bandwidth. We use the C program to simulate results. Simulated results indicate improved performance in queueing delay when total offered loads are or are not shared uniformly to TCONTs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
