“…In order to provide the emerging bandwidth intensive applications and multimedia services to an ever-increasing number of end users, the Ethernet passive optical network (EPON) in [16][17][18] has emerged as the practical technology of choice for broadband access networks due to the rapid decline in the cost of fiber optics and Ethernet equipment. EPON is a tree-based point-to-multipoint fiber optical network with no active elements in the signal's path.…”

“…WDM-PON has other advantageous characteristics of protocol transparency, security and so on. However, it has not been considered as a practical access network solution because of the high system cost, compared to other PON techniques, including time-division multiplexing-PON (TDM-PON) [16][17][18][19][20] which have become popular optical access techniques for FTTH applications. It may be prudent to now reconsider the WDM-PON technique as a potential solution for the newly emerging applications if the high system cost can be shared by many subscribers as the immediate demand for high network performances cannot be met by other techniques at reasonable cost.…”

In this paper, an IP-based wireless access network is proposed, which is designed to support the hierarchical MIPv6 standard on the wavelength division multiplexed passive optical network access network in order to provide a fast and seamless handoff support. Two schemes for enhancing the mobility management are included in the proposed network's infrastructure support. Firstly, the local-link channels between sub-networks are provided to improve the mobility management efficiency for the mobile nodes roaming between neighboring subnetworks. Secondly, the early route optimization scheme has been applied, which optimizes the mobility management process between the corresponding node and the home agent (HA), resulting in reduced bandwidth waste and long end-to-end packet delays, as well as lowering the heavy burden on the HA. The performance of the proposed mobility management scheme has been evaluated in terms of handoff delays, packet losses and transmission costs.The superior performance of the proposed scheme has been verified and compared to other schemes.Keywords Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) Á Hierarchical mobile IPv6 (HMIPv6) Á Handoff Á Wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) Á Passive optical network (PON)

“…The evolution and development of the photonics technology together with the increased need for an internetworking broadband communication environment pushed to the direction of the development of more sophisticated optical networks. Those networks are now interconnected and cooperated with other network technologies such as wireless, satellite etc, and have also expanded from the transport layer to the access layer as fiber to the home (FTTH) applications [64].…”

“…For the time being, the standardized by Full Service Access Network study group of ITU [6,9] APON system (ATM Passive Optical Network) that shares 622 Mbit/s downstream and 155 Mbit/s upstream bandwidth with up to 32 users (optionally 64) with a reach of 20 km, can cover introductory needs for a part of the market. However, faster, cheaper per Mb/s, more flexible and packet-oriented alternatives are needed in the longer term to spread the full services access network to residential areas [11].…”
