Performance analysis of bidirectional hybrid orthogonal frequency division multiplexing-Ethernet passive optical access network

Abstract

For the bottleneck problem of broadband access networks, the Ethernet passive optical network comes out as a striking and promising solution. Even though, Ethernet passive optical network nodes necessitate a cost-effective up-gradation. Accordingly, we propose and demonstrate a hybrid orthogonal frequency division multiplexing-Ethernet passive optical network employing an optical single side band modulation scheme. Case A demonstrates a contrast between a symmetric bidirectional single channel orthogonal frequency division multiplexing-Ethernet passive optical network at a data rate of 10 and 5 Gbps after a fiber link of 20 km. Case B targets the transmission of a symmetric bidirectional single channel orthogonal frequency division multiplexing-optical single side band-Ethernet passive optical network system and achieves a fiber link of 20 km with a split ratio of 8. Afterwards, eight upstream channels are transmitted simultaneously and successfully obtained at the optical linear terminal side to make a bidirectional Ethernet passive optical network system. Further, a contrast between transmission at a data rate of 10 and 5 Gbps is carried out that achieves a fiber link of 20 km with a split ratio of 8.
