Passive optical network (PON) provides enough bandwidth for combining multiple service providers׳ in addition to the fiber to the home (FTTH) network. Multiple optical line terminals (multi-OLT) PON-based hybrid network is an efficient access network that provides an effective solution for reducing the computational complexity of data packet processing of multiple service providers having different packet lengths and data rates. However, in the multi-OLT PON-based hybrid networks, data transmission in the single upstream channel requires a complicated dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) algorithm for improving the bandwidth sharing efficiency among the multiple service providers. In this paper, we propose a new network architecture for a PON-based open access network (OAN) where every optical network unit (ONU) of the PON will be shared by all the service providers and in the central office multiple OLTs …
