Experimental demonstration of a distributed ring-based EPON architecture

We experimentally demonstrate error free performance of a simple ring-based Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) architecture that supports truly shared LAN capability among users as well as a fully distributed dynamic bandwidth allocation DBA scheme. The proposed distributed architecture can also be utilized as a packet-based mobile backhaul transport network to backhaul emerging mobile services across the PON-based fiber infrastructure. Utilizing PON access infrastructure as a mobile backhaul enables a seamless migration path to fixed-mobile convergence solutions.
