    Abstract

    In this paper, a novel multipriority reservation protocol for plastic optical fiber access network based on optical code division multiplexing access (OCDMA) technology is proposed. Conventional OCDMA system only allows finite units to transmit and access simultaneously according to the number of channels. The protocol is proposed to resolve this problem. By using the reservation scheme and a distributed arbitration algorithm, channel collision and destination conflict can be avoided. The protocol can efficiently support the transmission of multimedia messages that require the different time-delays. At the same time, each optical network unit is equipped with a fixed optical encoder/decoder that is always tuned to channel forcontrol and the tunable optical encoder/decoder that is tuned to any of channel for data. The network throughput and average delay have been investigated by numerical analysis and simulation experiments. It is shown that the multipriority reservation protocol in this POF access network based on OCDMA technology is valid and efficient.
