Review and comparative assessment of FDMA-PON vs. TDMA-PON for next-generation optical access networks

Abstract:

We present in this paper a comparative assessment of Time Division Multiple Access Passive Optical Networks (TDMA-PON) and Frequency-Division Multiple Access Passive Optical Networks (FDMA-PON). We try to point out the pros and cons of the two different approaches in the context of very high capacity next-generation PON mainly in terms of physical layer transmission performances, but also introducing some comparison in terms of complexity, cost and power consumption.
