Análisis del rendimiento de una red FTTH basada en la arquitectura GPON-WDM utilizando el simulador OptiSystem.

Abstract

Optical access technologies are experiencing rapid development alongside the Internet and other telecommunications services on a global scale. This document analyzed the structure of designing and planning a highcapacity passive optical network (GPON), also called an access network. This study is called <Performance analysis of an FTTH network based on the GPON-WDM architecture using the OptiSystem simulator=. The purpose was to design and simulate a GPON/WDM optical network and analyze its performance based on the distance between its distribution node and its final destination. It was developed because of the increasing demand for bandwidth and the dynamic characteristics of the current optical traffic. Through a realtime simulation, the OptiSystem software helped evaluate the performance of the selected scenarios. This work was based on the WDM (wavelength division multiplexing) technique; however, there are several variants of this technique; in which different users who transmit their data simultaneously get multiplexed. Multiplexing many users is determined by a spacing between the communication channels, which favors the exchange of large amounts of information.
