Time division multiplexing passive optical
network (TDM PON) is a promising solution to remove the
bottleneck of bandwidth provisioning in current mass-
deployed access networks. In TDM PON, traffic is carried
by a single wavelength in each division, in which users
share the bandwidth in time domain. Given
the increasing availability of bandwidth-intensive and high-
quality services such as HDTV and VoIP, the capacity of
current TDM systems will eventually become exhausted.
Wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) PON is a
promising means of upgrading the capacity and
performance of current TDM systems. (NOTE : Add 3-4
more sentences that describe characteristics of the
problem or statistics that reflect its severity)
()
However, given the importance of a
competitive component price for end-users in order for
PON to prevail, whether to widely deploy high-priced
devices in the user houses and the distant field remains
questionable. Whether to use an
expensive DWDM transmitter for a single user is also
unknown. Besides, for services requiring high reliability,
e.g., emergency call, a protection scheme is desirable for
the PON system. Therefore, a novel hybrid
TDM/WDM PON architecture must be developed that not
only enables a gradual evolution from cost-effective TDM to
a high-performing WDM PON, but also provides 1+1
protection against fiber cuts.

A novel hybrid TDM/WDM PON architecture can
be developed that not only enables a gradual evolution from
cost-effective TDM to a high-performing WDM PON, but also
provides 1+1 protection against fiber cuts. To
achieve optimization among cost, upgradability, and system
evolvability, DWDM and CWDM can be adopted for downstream
and upstream traffic, respectively. In the remote node, a cost-
effective and reliable CWDM AWG can then be used for
wavelength routing. Next, two pairs of feeding fibers can be
deployed and connected to various sides of the AWG.
Additionally, two DWA modules can be utilized in a full-grown
system to serve a large number of users, enable protection from
laser failure, and optimize packet latency and jittering.
()
As anticipated, the proposed architecture can
enhance the packet latency and jittering more than TDM PON
can. For a comparison of equivalent resource and background
traffic loading, a TDM PON can be assumed to have a single FL
for 16 users; in addition, the DWA module has 2TLs multiplexed
by 100/50(GHz) interleaver for 32 users.
Importantly, the proposed hybrid TDM/WDM PON architecture
with protection from fiber cuts and laser failure can achieve cost-
effectiveness. While comprising fast tunable lasers and
interleavers, the OLT DWA module can outperform the
conventional TDM PON one in terms of packet delay and jitter
performance. (NOTE : Add 2 more sentences that describe

Network communication systems focus
mainly on providing users with reliable and highly available
telecom services. However, conventional
communication architecture is equipment-based. If
equipment breaks down, telecom services should be
curtailed to replace the telecom equipment. Also, the
conventional architecture is proprietary for each other,
while each equipment provider is not compatible with each
other. (NOTE : Add 3-4 more sentences that describe
characteristics of the problem or statistics that reflect its
severity)
()
For a shorter development schedule,
a lower development cost and various network services,
conventional architectures with proprietary hardware and
software are outdated. Users subsequently spend much
capital for hardware and software updated with non-
reusable equipment and software. While proprietary
architecture is updated, users spend capital for the newly
updated proprietary architecture as well as purchase a new
one. Much capital has been expended during this process.
The proprietary architecture creates a
gap between equipment providers. After proprietary
architecture is updated, the older hardware and software
have become obsolete to users. Therefore,
a novel open architecture must be designed for
telecommunication purposes, as well as for construction
with building blocks.
()
A novel open architecture can be designed for
telecommunication purposes, as well as for construction with building
blocks. To do so, the communication architecture
can be separated by several functional blocks. Each functional block
can then be modularized. Next, each functional block can be
implemented through various providers. As anticipated,
for a situation in which telecom equipment modules break down, the
telecom services are not stopped when replacing equipment modules.
Also, high availability can be achieved by serving with an open
architecture, which is an emerging trend in the generation of telecom
communications. Via the proposed architecture, service
providers can then update equipment by each module, without an
update of all equipment. Such continuity makes users aware that a
breakdown in telecom equipment has occurred. (NOTE : Add 2-3

method contributes to a particular field or sector)
