… Abstract: Bandwidth allocation is one of the critical issues in Ethernet passive optical
networks (EPONs). To achieve good network performance and thus provide guaranteed network …

… Every G i , divided by w i nor , is the amount of bandwidth allocated to ONU i with respect
to the unit weight w u . We term this normalized bandwidth allocated to ONU i as stripped …
