We present a media access control protocol extension to integrate the physical layer surveillance concept into the transmission and the related management system in the Gigabit-capable passive optical network (GPON). We allocate an unused time slot for network surveillance depending upon its availability in the upstream GPON transmission convergence frame. We analyze the upstream link bandwidth utilization of the GPON system with network surveillance and show that there is a negligible amount of underutilization of link bandwidth as a result of this.

In this paper, we propose the optimal offset-time decision (OOD) algorithm which can effectively reduce the pre-transmission delay compared to the perfect isolation model, and can also be extended to general n priority classes while the target loss probability of each class is guaranteed for the variable offered load. In order to drive the OOD algorithm, we first analyze the loss probability of each priority class through class aggregation and iteration method; the analytic results obtained through the proposed algorithm are then validated with results garnered from extensive simulation tests.
