We propose a novel policy for scheduling upstream flows in Ethernet passive optical
networks. This policy, called proportional sharing with load reservation (PSLR), provides …

The Ethernet passive optical network (EPON) has recently attracted more and more
research attentions since it can be a perfect candidate for next generation access networks …

In this paper, conventional bandwidth allocation schemes in ethernet passive optical
network (EPON) are shown to suffer from poor utilization under the nonuniform traffic …

In this paper we present a dynamic bandwidth allocation algorithm for Ethernet Passive
Optical Networks (EPON), which makes use of the Multipoint Control Protocol (MPCP) with …

This paper proposes a new dynamic bandwidth allocation system for Ethernet Passive
Optical Networks (EPONs), subject to requirements of fairness, efficiency, and cost. An …

In this paper, we design a two‐step scheduling algorithm to support multiple bandwidth
allocation policies for upstream channel access in an Ethernet passive optical network. The …

We compile and classify the research work conducted for Ethernet passive optical networks.
We examine PON architectures and dynamic bandwidth allocation algorithms. Our …

Medium access control (MAC) is one of the most crucial issues in the design of Ethernet
passive optical networks (EPONs). To prevent data from collision in the upstream direction …

A variety of dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) algorithms have been proposed to foster
the performance of Ethernet passive optical networks (EPONs). These DBA algorithms use …

This article surveys various solutions proposed to date to support quality of service in
EPONs. Namely, we overview the inter-and intra-ONU scheduling solutions and argue, and …
