Experimental demonstration of multi-band upstream in statistical OFDM-PONs and comparison with digital subcarrier assignment

A multiband subcarrier allocation scheme is demonstrated for the uplink in a statistical OFDM-PON. Performance achieved is similar to digital subcarrier allocation, with the significant advantage of a lower transmitter complexity.
