Abstract
Time division multiplexing passive optical networks (TDM-PON) have emerged as a promising technology for mobile fronthaul for small cell CRAN. The performance of such TDM-based PON mobile fronthaul for small cell CRAN greatly depends on efficient dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) mechanisms. In this paper, a novel DBA mechanism based on the concept of dynamic service interval for ITU-based TDM-PON (XG-PON) for mobile fronthaul has been proposed. The proposed scheme is implemented using network simulator −3 (NS-3) simulation tool for evaluation of network performance parameters. The performance evaluation of the proposed DBA against the existing schemes such as optimized round robin (ORR) and Group-GIANT DBA shows a significant improvement in upstream mean delay, packet loss ratio and grant-request ratio. In addition to this, the proposed scheme shows that larger number of ONU(RRH) can be supported by the network for front haul uplink traffic transmitted via XG-PON in small cell CRAN.
