THESIS ABSTRACT
Fiber based access networks can deliver performance that can sustain constant demands for highspeed connection and one of the new technologies that has emerged in recent years is Ethernet Passive Optical Networks. The key features of this approach is the simplicity of the architecture and compatibility with existing Ethernet based local area networks. To make Ethernet Passive Optical
Networks (EPONs) a fully functional part of the tele- communication system support for the concept of is mandatory. Much research has been done on the optimal bandwidth allocation algorithms that would have the capability of supporting Differentiated Services (DiffServ) in EPONs. This thesis proposes that the access control mechanism should be centralized and performed by the Optical Line Terminator. It is shown that this approach can give greater flexibility to adjust to changing traffic conditions, can simplify the structure of the Optical Network Units and can allow the easy adoption of Service Level Agreements. This thesis introduces a unique EPON simulator that allows the testing various types of bandwidth allocation algorithms It is possible to evaluate the allocation mechanism under different traffic conditions and with network configurations that closely resemble
real systems. Two new algorithms are presented and they are based on a paradigm of centralized access control and support for DiffServ. The performance of proposed algorithms was simulated and improved results compared to other algorithms were obtained.
