An efficient solution for mitigating light-load penalty in EPONs
In this paper, an effective medium access control protocol is proposed for Ethernet passive optical networks. By combining the bandwidth guarantee polling (BGP) scheme with the strict priority queuing (SPQ) mechanism, the proposed solution can greatly mitigate the light-load penalty while supporting differentiated services. The performance of the proposed solution has been demonstrated by the simulation results.
