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. Therefore, this work describes a novel
hybrid TDM/WDM PON architecture 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 are adopted for
downstream and upstream traffic, respectively. In the remote
node, a cost-effective and reliable CWDM AWG is then used for
wavelength routing.

Next, two pairs of feeding fibers are deployed and connected to
various sides of the AWG. Additionally, two DWA modules are
utilized in a full-grown system to serve a large number of users,
enable protection from laser failure, and optimize packet latency
and jittering. Simulation results indicate that,
the proposed architecture enhances the packet latency and
jittering more than TDM PON can. For a comparison of
equivalent resource and background traffic loading, a TDM PON
is 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 outperforms the conventional TDM PON one in terms of
packet delay and jitter performance.

(+) 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. Therefore, this work presents a novel open
architecture for telecommunication purposes, as well as for
construction with building blocks. The communication
architecture is separated by several functional blocks. Each
functional block is then modularized. Next, each functional
block is implemented through various providers.

Analytical results indicate that, 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 update equipment by each module, without
an update of all equipment. Such continuity makes users
aware that a breakdown in telecom equipment has
occurred.
