Design and Performance Evaluation of WDM-PON using FTTx Architecture

Abstract

Optical access networks are currently undergoing a very rapid evolution that accompanies the development of the Internet and telecommunication services around the world. FTTx has different types of technologies and architectures, they are adopted according to applications and services. Among its different implementations there is the Passive Optical Network (PON), considered as a standard for access to high-speed networks. The main idea of this project is to create a fictional environment that will allow us to study FTTx networks in depth and to choose the most optimal option for this environment. Simulation software meeting the design requirements will be chosen, the design of the passive optical network will be realized and the results of the simulation will confirm that the network is applicable and can be implemented in a real environment. We will work on the determination of transmission quality taking into account certain parameters of the link, such as the bit rates used, the length of the fiber and the type of modulation.
