In a 10-gigabit-capable passive optical network (XG-PON) system, a power management function such as cyclic sleep mode can be implemented to increase energy efficiency of an optical network terminal (ONT). To optimize power saving with the cyclic sleep mode, we proposed an analytic model to determine required ONT buffer size for incoming traffics from user network interface (UNI) when the ONT is sleeping, and to evaluate performances such as power consumption and delay, in accordance with buffer sizes, sleep periods, and arrival rates. Then, by simulating the proposed model, we could estimate the required buffer size and the sleep period for effective implementation of the cyclic sleep mode.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
