Broadband Passive Optical Networks (BPON): a Review International Journal of Emerging Technologies in Engineering Research (IJETER) Volume 5, Issue 7, July (2017) www.ijeter.everscience.org Broadband Passive Optical Networks (BPON): A Review Baljinder Kaur1, Ramandeep Kaur2, Rajandeep Singh3 1, 2 Punjabi University, Patiala, India. 3 GNDU Regional Campus Sultanpur Lodhi, India. Abstract – Passive Optical Networks (PON) are significant In simple words, it can be said that PON is a network of fibers research interest at present for both the industry and the that only uses the fiber and various passive components such academia considering its successful deployment in the metro as combiners and splitters instead of using active components networks. The research is focused on enhancing the performance such as shaping circuits, and repeaters in the network. But the of the access segment of the passive optical networks. One of the main limitation of such network is the range of coverage which main purposes of any communication networks is to reach the end users who are situated far away. BPON (Broadband Passive is limited by the signal strength [2]. Optical Networks) have been evaluated in both upstream and Various telecommunication companies are using the PONs to downstream for their capability to reach the end users. Various provide numerous multimedia services such as Internet service, parameters as fiber length, the number of users, data rate, wavelength, coding techniques and Bit Error Rate (BER) are VoIP phone, and TV. Along with this, high data rate allows fast considered while evaluating the BPON networks. This paper video streaming. The network is very simple because of the provides an insight into the research that has already been done deployment of passive components that are small, cheaper and about the BPON networks. It includes a brief history of PON, its easy to replace. With the increase in demand for wide and faster types, BPON, architecture, applications and much more. The internet service, the PONs are also in high demand [8]. paper will assist the researchers to review the work that has been done in this field. 2. TYPES OF PASSIVE OPTICAL NETWORKS Index Terms – Broadband passive optical networks, Optical Line The Passive optical networks can be divided into different Terminal, Optical Network Units, PON. types according to the different generation. The PON types include the following: 1. INTRODUCTION A. Past generation PONs. Passive optical network abbreviated as PON is a system that helps to bring the optical fiber cabling as well as signals to the A PON and BPON are the types of passive optical network that way to the users. PON architecture consists of different was evolved in the 90s. APONs (Asynchronous Transfer Mode elements that include OLT (Optical Line Terminal), ONUs Optical networks) was the first system that accomplished huge (Optical Network Units), etc. OLT is located at the office of the deployment in the commercial areas. In this, an electronic layer communication company. On the other hand, various ONUs is built on the ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode). On the are located near the end users [1]. Approximately 64 ONUs can other hand, BPON is the enhanced sequence of the APON. be easily connected with one OLT PON port. The use of word BPON offer high data rate as compared to APON. It provides “passive” describes that the optical network does not require speed up to 622 Mb/s. The meantime also increased the any power and the active electronic part when signal start protection, dynamic bandwidth, and various other functions propagating through the network [3]. [9]. B. Current Generation PONs. EPON and GPON are referred as the current generations PONs. EPON (Ethernet Passive Optical Network) support transmission rate of 1.25 Gbit/s in one direction while using the IEEE 802.3ah protocol. On the other hand, GPON (Gigabit Passive Optical Network) support 2.5 Gbit/s while using the protocol specified in the ITU-T G. Thus, both the EPON and GPON are based upon the IEEE 802. 3ah and ITU-T G.984.x standards respectively. Therefore, GPON and EPON are the PON types that are being used at present. We are trying to increase the data rate through the next generation PON types Figure 1: Schematic of PON described in the upcoming section [4].

Next-generation PONs Mb/s for upstream and downstream respectively to the customers [1]. Recently few recommendations were developed by the ITU-T standards development activity for providing definitions, As shown in Figure 1, a passive optical splitter is used between service requirement, consent, and specifications of PON the central office and the user sites. Due to the deployment of system that can transmit at the data rate of 10 Gigabit per the passive optical filter in the BPON the maintenance free second. Therefore, there are chances of the evolution of 10G operation is feasible. It is one the most cost effective way of PON, XG-PON 1 and XG-PON 2. There is the wide scope of communication among different PON types. communication in using the passive optical networks. WDM- PON (Wavelength Division Multiplexing-Passive Optical Networks) are also considered as the main base for the future PONs [12]. As this paper focus on the deployment of the broadband passive optical networks to serve a huge number of users, all the next sections would provide insight into the BOPN technology, its architecture, and applications. 3. BROADBAND PON BPON was the first PON standards which were agreed by the ITU in 1999. The complete working of the BPON standards is based on the G.983 series given in the ITU-T recommendations. ATM is signaling and transference protocol Figure 2: Broadband PON Architecture [1]. as described by the G983 series of ITU-T recommendations. 5. OPERATIONAL FEATURES OF BPON Previously, the access network that was based on the BPON standard were called APONs. The BPON standard was There are three major factors used in the BPON to accomplish endorsed by various component sellers and network suppliers service performance of high quality. These three essential that collaborated in the FSAN group. Simply, the fact is that it factors include the organization of the buffer content, proper was the FSAN group that suggested using the ATM protocol to synchronization of the upstream traffic and effective carry subscriber data [10]. bandwidth utilization. These three are the unique operational features of BPON. Broadband PON which is one of the past generation types of PON has the capability to support high data rate, high-speed A. Video Traffic voice, and video services to the end users at small businesses The transmission of the video relies on one component called as well as residential homes. Gigabit PON and Ethernet PON as a head-end transmitter. The main function of the head-end which are two other types of PONs also offer high data rate. transmitter is to receive content from different digital as well But the most beneficial factor about using the Broadband PON as analog sources [5]. The transmission system uses the same is the reduced cost. The cost of the maintenance between the standard that CATV utilize for distributing the video traffic to users and the central office is affordable [6]. the subscribers. The voice traffic can be easily transmitted There are numerous telecommunication services that are using using the same 1490 nm fiber as it uses different wavelength. the BPON to increase the FTTP (Fiber-to-the-premises) As a consequence, we can use any coding technique for the networks. It is because of the wide embedded switching video. It could be quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK), 64- structure of the carriers. The major benefits of using the ATM point quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM 64), 256-point networks include the flexible and scalable traffic management quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM 256), and others [11]. along with robust QoS (quality of services) features [13].

    Long-Range Free-Space Optical Communication Research Challenges Dr. Scott A. Hamilton, MIT Lincoln Laboratory and Prof. Joseph M. Khan, Stanford University The substantial benefits of free-space optical (FSO) or laser communications (lasercom) have been well known to system designers for quite some time, c.f. [1]. The free-space channel, similar to the fiber channel, provides many benefits at optical frequencies compared to radio frequencies (RF) including extremely wide unregulated bandwidth and tightly confined beams (i.e. narrow beam divergence), both of which enable low size, weight and power (SWaP) terminals. However, significant challenges are still perceived: stochastic intensity fluctuations in a received optical signal after propagating through the atmosphere, power-starved link mode of operation, and narrow transmit beams that must be precisely pointed and tracked. Since the late 1970’s the United States [2], Europe [3] and Japan [4] have actively been developing FSO technology motivated primarily for long-haul spaceborne communication systems. While early efforts were focused on maturing FSO technology, the past decade has seen significant progress toward demonstrating the practicality of FSO for multiple applications. The first high-rate demonstration of FSO between a satellite in Geosynchronous (GEO) orbit and the ground was achieved by the US during the GeoLITE experiment in 2001. A short time later, the European Space Agency (ESA) demonstrated a 50- Mbps FSO link operating at 800-nm wavelengths between their Artemis GEO satellite and: i) another ESA spacecraft in Low-Earth orbit (LEO) in 2001 [5]; ii) a ground station located in Tenerife, Spain in 2001 [6]; and iii) an airplane flying at altitudes as low as 6,000 meters outfitted with an FSO terminal developed by France’s Astrium EADS in 2006 [7].

  • The Future of Fiber-Optic Computer Networks
    Fiber-Optic Computer Networks Paul E. Green, IBM T.J. Watson Research Center iber-optic communication is only 25 years old, but it would be difficult to exaggerate the impact it has already had on all branches of information transmission, from spans of a few meters to intercontinental distances. This strange technology, involving -of all things -the transmission of messages as pulses of light along an almost invisible thread of glass, is effectively taking over the role of guided transmission by copper and, to a modest extent, the role of unguided free-space radio and infrared transmission. If the medium itself is not strange enough, reflect on the form taken by the transmitter - the semiconductor laser diode. This device is usually no larger than a grain of sand and transmits milliwatts of infrared light - enough to send information at gigabits per second over long distances with an extremely low received bit-error rate. Yet, looking a little closer at how this supposedly revolutionary technology has been used to date, you come away with a sense that vast new unexploited opportunities await. The bandwidth is 10 orders of magnitude greater than that of phone lines (25,000 gigahertz versus 3 kilohertz), and the raw bit-error rate on the link is 10 orders of magnitude lower. Design points of are in place today (1 GHZ= io9 HZ). When you combine these numbers with the great potential for cost reductions, Fiber-optic networks it becomes clear that fiber is much more promising than anything that network architects have ever had to play with before and that a great deal more can be done have had a profound with photonic communication than is being done today.

    Design and Optimization of Free Space Optical Networks by In Keun Son A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Auburn, Alabama December 13, 2010 Keywords: Free space optics, FSO, Network design, Network optimization Copyright 2010 by In Keun Son Approved by Shiwen Mao, Chair, Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Prathima Agrawal, Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Chwan–Hwa “John” Wu, Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Abstract Recent advances in wireless communication technologies and the explosive growth of the number and variety of mobile devices and multimedia applications motivate the development of next generation wireless networks, i.e., beyond 4G mobile systems. Indeed, the compelling demand for extensive coverage and high capacity has brought about a challenging problem to design adaptive and scalable network architectures. Some broadband wireless technologies, such as WiMAX, millimeter-wave, and free space optics (FSO), have been developed to meet this demand. Free space optics have emerged as a promising technology for next generation wireless broadband networks [1] [2]. FSO is a wireless telecommunication system that uses free space as transmission medium to transmit optical data at high bit rates. Compared with traditional wireless technologies, such optical wireless links have many advantages, including cost effectiveness, long transmission distance, license-free operation, interference immunity, high bandwidth, and so on. In this dissertation, we propose to design and optimize broadband wireless networks based on the FSO technology. We first provide a comprehensive survey of prior work. We classify prospective global FSO networks into three categories, and present current state of the art in the field and discuss the challenging issues and open problems.
