如今，隨著信息爆炸，骨幹網絡和城域網絡的容量需求已成倍增加。因此，如何提高網絡容量正成為學術界和工業界的熱門話題。可變帶寬光網絡技術通過為不同速率的數據傳輸分配剛剛足夠的帶寬來提高網絡容量，而物理層網絡編碼技術（PNC）在沒有復雜的硬件要求下可以增加網絡容量。在這篇論文中，我們首先提出將組播應用於可變帶寬光網絡來提高網絡容量。我們進一步提出將物理層網絡編碼技術應用於時分複用光接入網絡（TDM-PON），從而來提高全光虛擬專用通信（VPN）的網絡容量。 / 可變帶寬光網絡中組播的分析 / 可變帶寬光網絡相比傳統的波分複用光網絡（WDM）可以提高骨幹網絡的頻譜利用率，因為它可以靈活地分配剛剛足夠的帶寬。另一方面，光網絡層上的組播是一種高效的支持點對多點的通信技術。在未來的許多寬帶服務中，點對多點應用服務是必不可少的，通過光組播技術可以節省頻譜帶寬和接發器的數目。為了進一步提高網絡容量，我們建議在可變帶寬光網絡中進行組播。雖然關於可變帶寬光網絡的研究已經有很多了，但據我們所知，關於可變帶寬光網絡的組播尚未被研究。我們通過兩種有效算法來解決可變帶寬光網絡組播的路由和頻譜分配問題。採用相同的路由和波長/頻譜分配算法，我們研究了有靈活帶寬分配產生的好處，通過比較可變帶寬光網絡和傳統波分複用網絡的組播。我們也探討了由非均勻帶寬分配造成的頻譜間隙對提高網絡容量的影響。 / 時分複用光接入網中(TDM-PON)的物理層網絡編碼技術（PNC） / 網絡編碼是一種很有前途的技術，可以提高網絡的容量和健全性。雖然最近有關於在時分複用光接入網中進行網絡編碼的研究，應用於同一個光接入網絡中的光網絡單元（ONU）之間的通信，但在這些研究中的最大的網絡容量提高只有33。此外，在光網路終端（OLT）和光網絡單元中還需要大量的緩衝來存儲VPN數據。在時分複用光接入網中，全光VPN網絡可以重新將VPN數據傳送到相應的ONU，實現ONU之間的直接通信，不需要在OLT進行光-電-光的轉換。在這裡，據我們所知，我們第一次用實驗驗證了一種新方案，將物理層網絡編碼技術應用於TDM-PON，使得全光VPN通信的網絡容量增加了一倍。我們也提出了在光接入網中的遠程節點處使用光環路器，以此減少VPN通信的插入損耗。當兩個ONU之間需要進行雙向通信，可以通過利用PNC來實現全雙工傳輸，相比傳統半雙工的全光VPN方案，網絡容量可以提高100。實驗結果表明，可以實現無差錯全雙工VPN通信，相比半雙工通信功率補償不超過3分貝，而且這方案中ONU間的同步是不需要的。 / Nowadays, with the information explosion, the capacity demand has been exponentially increasing in backbone networks and metro networks. Therefore, it is becoming a hot topic for both academic and industry to improve the network capacity. Elastic technologies are promising to scale up the network capacity due to just-enough bandwidth allocation for different data-rate traffic request, while physical-layer network coding (PNC) can increase the throughput without complex requirement on hardware. In this thesis, we first propose a novel scheme to improve the network capacity by implementing multicast in elastic optical networks. We further present the capacity improvement by integrating PNC in time-division multiplexing passive optical network (TDM-PON) for all-optical virtual private network (VPN) communications. / Analysis of multicast in elastic optical networks / Elastic optical networks can increase the spectrum utilization of backbone networks compared to the traditional wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) networks due to flexible and just-enough bandwidth allocation. On the other hand, multicast over the optical layer is a bandwidth-efficient communication technique which supports point-to-multipoint applications. As many broadband services in the future can be from one source to several destinations, it is essential to enable optical multicast to save bandwidth as well as transceivers. To further improve the network throughput, we propose to implement multicast in spectrum elastic optical networks. Although many investigations on elastic optical networks have been carried out, to the best of our knowledge, the performance of multicast in elastic optical networks have not yet been studied. We develop two efficient multicast heuristics to solve the multicast routing and spectrum allocation (MC-RSA) problem in elastic optical networks. By adopting the same routing and wavelength/spectrum allocation algorithms, the benefits of elastic optical networks resulting from flexible bandwidth allocation are studied for multicast compared to the traditional WDM networks. We also investigate the impact of spectral gap caused by non-uniform bandwidth allocation on the improvement of network throughput. / Physical-layer network coding (PNC) in TDM-PON / Network coding is a promising technique to improve the network throughput and robustness. Although network coding in TDM-PON has been recently investigated for exchanging information among optical network units (ONUs) in the same PON, the maximum capacity improvement of inter-ONU communications in these schemes is only 33%. In addition, large electrical buffer is required to store the VPN traffic at both optical line terminal (OLT) and ONUs. All-optical VPN in TDM-PON can optically reroute VPN traffic to the destined ONU without optical-electrical-optical conversion at OLT, which enables direct communications among ONUs. Here, to the best of our knowledge, for the first time, we experimentally demonstrate a novel PNC scheme integrated in TDM-PON for all-optical VPN communications to double the network throughput. A unique remote node that uses optical circulators to reduce the insertion loss of VPN communications is also proposed. By transmitting two inter-ONU traffic streams of opposite direction simultaneously using PNC (full-duplex), it can improve the network throughput by 100% compared to the traditional all-optical VPN schemes (half-duplex). Experiments show that error-free full-duplex VPN communications are achieved, and the power penalty is no more than 3 dB. Synchronization of ONUs is not required for the proposed scheme. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Wang, Qike. / Thesis (M.Phil.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2012. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 43-48). / Abstracts also in Chinese. / Chapter Chapter 1 --- Background --- p.1 / Chapter 1.1 --- Elastic optical networks --- p.1 / Chapter 1.2 --- Multiscast in WDM networks --- p.5 / Chapter 1.3 --- Network coding in passive optical network (PON) --- p.7 / Chapter 1.4 --- All-optical virtual private nework (VPN) in PON --- p.11 / Chapter 1.5 --- Contribution of this thesis --- p.13 / Chapter 1.6 --- Organization of this thesis --- p.15 / Chapter Chapter 2 --- Analysis of multicast in elastic optical networks --- p.16 / Chapter 2.1 --- Introduction --- p.16 / Chapter 2.2 --- Network model and heuristics --- p.18 / Chapter 2.2.1 --- Multicast-capable node architecture --- p.18 / Chapter 2.2.2 --- Multicast goup size (MGS) factor --- p.19 / Chapter 2.2.3 --- Network resource and assumption --- p.19 / Chapter 2.2.4 --- Multicast routing and spectrum allocation (MC-RSA) heuristics --- p.20 / Chapter 2.3 --- Numerical results --- p.22 / Chapter 2.4 --- Summary --- p.27 / Chapter Chapter 3 --- Physical-layer network coding (PNC) in TDM-PON --- p.28 / Chapter 3.1 --- Introduction --- p.28 / Chapter 3.2 --- A novel PNC in TDM-PON scheme for all-optical VPN applications --- p.31 / Chapter 3.2.1 --- System architecture --- p.31 / Chapter 3.2.2 --- Implementation of PNC --- p.32 / Chapter 3.2.3 --- Management of wavelength collision --- p.33 / Chapter 3.3 --- Experiemnts and results --- p.35 / Chapter 3.4 --- Summary --- p.39 / Chapter Chapter 4 --- Conclusion and Future Works --- p.40 / Chapter 4.1 --- Conclusion of this thesis --- p.40 / Chapter 4.2 --- Future works --- p.41 / Bibliography --- p.43 / List of Publications --- p.50
