Abstract

Integration of Ethernet passive optical network (EPON) and WiMAX technologies is regarded as a promising solution for next-generation broadband access networks. In implementing such networks, efficient bandwidth allocation schemes are essential to satisfy quality of service (QoS) and fairness requirements of various traffic classes. Existing proposals for solving the bandwidth allocation problem in EPON/WiMAX networks neglect interactions between the self-interested EPON and WiMAX service providers (WSPs). Accordingly, this study proposes a novel EPON-based DBA method that shows advantages over currently available methods in integration process. In the proposed algorithm, that based on the auction theory, optical line terminal runs an auction-based process to effectively register optical network unit’s bandwidth that requests and allocates the highest bidders based on the amount of available bandwidth. Simulation results indicate significant improvements comparing to fair sharing using dual-service-level agreements, ‘limited service’ interleaved polling with adaptive cycle time methods, bandwidthalllocation strategy using Stackelberg game and bandwidth allocation strategy using coalition game regarding quality of service parameters such as throughput and the time delay of running method.
