Abstract:The capabilities of passive optical networks (PONs) are strongly influenced by the quality of the used dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) algorithm. DBA algorithms control the assignment of available upstream bandwidth to the users connected to the PON. In an oversubscribed environment, that poses a challenge regarding the selection of an appropriate DBA algorithm. Therefore, DBA algorithms are subject of continuous research. To support efficient development and realistic evaluation of DBA algorithms, an FPGAb… Show more
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.
