User-oriented service guarantee schemes for future Optical Network

Abstract

Optical Network has given great contribution to the growth of telecommunication technologies. In the future, high capacity, multi service support and high quality of service or experience are the needy requirements of end users for the optical network. In this article, we reviewed promising optical network architectures such as Service-Oriented-Architecture (SOA) based Optical Distribution Network and Hybrid Wireless-Optical Broadband Access Network (WOBAN). Based on these networks, we propose several user-oriented service guarantee schemes. We deeply investigate the network performance, high bandwidth access, network protection, services mobility support, and resource allocation. All the proposed schemes are implemented on the test-beds. Experimental results indicate that these schemes could improve the service performance, and also verify their validity.
