Abstract
We propose and investigate dynamic bandwidth allocation algorithm with an
adaptive polling cycle (DBA-APC) to maximize the TCP throughput in an Ether
passive optical network. DBA-APC is designed to overcome the limiting
factors of current DBA algorithms, such as inefficient TCP throughput in the
downstream and upstream directions. The algorithm is based on a polling
cycle adjustment that considers bandwidth utilization and the round-trip
time of the TCP. We analyze the performance of DBA-APC in a 10-Gb/s EPON and
find that it provides high TCP throughput.
