The research initiatives addressed in this thesis are geared towards improving the performance of passive optical networks through the development of advanced dynamic bandwidth allocation protocols. In particular, the aim of the research undertaken is to enhance the quality of service offered by standard passive optical networks with reduced network costs. To that extent, a dynamic multi-wavelength protocol has been developed to increase the network upstream bandwidth and introduce multiple service levels to a fibre to the home-based giga-bit passive optical network. Simulation results have confirmed the reduction of the mean packet delay by adjusting the ITU-T standard G984 giga-bit passive optical network frame format by means of the introduction of extended wavelength band overlay based on the ITU-T Coarse- Wavelength Division Multiplexing grid to support the multi-wavelength functionality. To evaluate the multi-wavelength upstream operation of the newly implemented models in OPNET, 2-dimensional Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation algorithms have been introduced to manage the network resources in both the time and wavelength domains. Furthermore, the enhanced traffic allocation among the supported wavelengths in new protocol confirmed a performance improvement in the network total capacity and the mean packet delay, which demonstrates the network reliability and improves the quality of the provided service according to the subscriber service level agreement, with a minimum guaranteed bandwidth of 100 Mbit/s to fulfil applications and associated bandwidth requirements for the next generation access network.

This thesis presents the design and analysis of two high speed analog laser driver stages (LDS) for use in a passive optical network (PON) upstream burst-mode transmitter (BM-Tx) using low cost complementary metal oxide semiconductors (CMOS) technology. The maturation of CMOS technology has lead to aggressive scaling of device sizes which has made it an increasingly attractive technology for high speed analog design. CMOS provides high levels of integration as it is the industry standard for digital circuits, analog and digital systems can share one substrate reducing costs. Additionally CMOS is a more cost effective solution than traditional expensive high speed analog substrates. A 2.5 Gbps LDS fabricated in 0.18 um CMOS technology is presented. The LDS uses a two stage per-amplifier. Stage one consists of a cascode differential pair with a source follower voltage buffer, while stage two consists of a shunt inductively peaked differential pair using active inductors. A differential pair composed of large transistors is used in an open drain configuration for the output stage. Measurements of S-parameters are presented which accurately agree with simulations. Electrical eye diagram measurements are presented which demonstrate the LDS is able to provide a modulation current of 14.6-58 mA. 10%-90% approximate rise/fall times of 230/260 ps was obtained for a modulation current of 58 mA. Power consumption of the core was determined to be 68.5 mW, while the chip consumed an area of 0.8 mm x 0.7 mm including pads. A 10 Gbps LDS fabricated in 0.18 um CMOS technology is also presented. The LDS uses a cascode differential pair for the output stage. The per-amplifier for this design consists of a differential pair and utilizes spiral inductors for series inductive peaking between the per-amplifier and output stage. Measurements of S-parameters are presented which accurately agree with simulations. Electrical eye diagram measurements are presented which demonstrate the LDS is able to provide a modulation current of 22.6-62 mA. 10%-90% rise/fall time of 87 ps and 75 ps are respectively obtained while operating at maximum modulation current. The core of the LDS consumes a power of 287 mW, while the chip consumed an area of 0.79 mm x 0.7mm. The measured electrical eye diagrams for the 2.5 Gbps and the 10 Gbps meet the timing requirements for the GPON standard. Further work is needed to investigate whether or not the timing requirements would still be met once the CMOS chips are integrated with commercial laser diodes. / Thesis (Master, Electrical & Computer Engineering) -- Queen's University, 2010-09-24 10:43:33.418

They have recently installed GPON in a portion of their network and have connected it to the MAN via an Extreme switch. However JEAB would prefer to use Cisco equipment instead of Extreme since the MAN comprises of Cisco hardware.

Additionally JEAB have asked for research into GPON and VPLS in order to improve their understanding of both techniques. This would be of benefit to them both now and in the future. In order to achieve the stated objectives the following questions are raised: • How does GPON work? • How does VPLS work? • How can GPON be connected to the MAN via Cisco Systems 6500 Catalyst switch/7600 Router? • How can GPON be connected to the MAN via Alcatel-Lucents 7450 ESS-1? The research into GPON and VPLS provides the required background knowledge in order to investigate how GPON can be connected to the MAN. The main body of the work is to analyse the requirements of the company and build a configuration which satisfies them. The desired implementation via Cisco Systems solution was deemed unsuitable due to a feature of DHCP option 82 which did not function as required. The focus then turned to Alcatel-Lucents solution. The resulting solution uses a part of VPLS via Alcatel-Lucents 7450 ESS-1. All the key elements are included, including hiding customer VLANs from the ISP and per-service QoS bandwidth management. The conclusion is that whilst using Alcatel-Lucents solution means a deviation from the all-Cisco implementation that had been planned; the benefit of including all the desired functionality outweighs the mixing of manufacturers. The techniques of GPON and VPLS are extremely versatile and can be used in a variety of networks. Therefore there is scope for further research into how these two techniques can be used together in other types of MAN.
