Performance evaluation of bi-directional passive optical networks in the scenario of triple play service

Abstract In this paper, the performance of bi-directional passive optical network (BPON) has been evaluated and compared at different bit rates in the scenario of triple play service. The triple-play service is realized as a combination of data, voice and video signals. This architecture is investigated for symmetrical data traffic for uplink and downlink transmission and its performance is also evaluated in terms of Q-factor and eye height at different transmission distance. The Q-factor results show the acceptable performance at 10 Gbps data rate for downstream and upstream transmission, as it accommodates 128 optical network units (ONUs). Further the proposed system's performance is compared with the current state-of-the-art PON architectures.
