Diseño de escenarios de simulación de la transmisión ascendente/descendente en una red óptica pasiva gigabit (GPON).

Abstract

This paper develops the research of the final master's thesis entitled "Design of simulation scenarios for upstream/downstream transmission in a gigabit passive optical network (GPON)". This type of transmission is used in fiber-to-the-home communications, known as FTTH in a GPON. FTTH involves carrying a communications signal over fiber from the carrier's or ISP's switching equipment to the home or business, replacing existing copper infrastructure such as telephone wires and coaxial cable. GPON uses an IPbased protocol and ATM or GEM (GPON encapsulation method) encoding. It specifies data rates of up to 2.5 Gbps and is very flexible in terms of the types of traffic it carries. GPON enables triple play (voice-data-video) service and is the basis for most FTTP applications planned for the near future.
