Premier Dynamic Bandwidth Management and Tensile Wavelength Selection Ensuring QoS for NG-EPONs
Abstract
Next Generation Ethernet Passive Optical Networks (NG-EPONs) have emerged as a leading choice for global network connectivity due to their cost-effectiveness, enhanced security, and energy efficiency. As data demands continue to surge with technological advancements, the need for efficient bandwidth management and wavelength selection in NG-EPONs becomes paramount. This paper presents two innovative algorithms—Tensile Wavelength and Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation (TW-DBA) and Premier Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation (PDBA)—designed to optimize bandwidth allocation and maintain Quality of Service (QoS) under varying network conditions. The TW-DBA algorithm achieves a remarkable throughput of 2.34 Gbps, driven by its dynamic wavelength selection mechanism that accounts for factors such as ONU-OLT distance, power availability, and bandwidth demand. Comparative analysis reveals that TW-DBA outperforms existing algorithms like Flexible Wavelength (FW), First-Fit, and Water Filled, both in computational efficiency and resource allocation. Furthermore, the PDBA algorithm demonstrates a minimum blockage probability of 0.0025 for limited ONU scenarios and 0.005 in unlimited scenarios, ensuring uniform bandwidth distribution. Simulation results confirm the superior performance and effectiveness of the proposed models, positioning them as robust solutions for the evolving demands of NG-EPONs.
