Upstream transmission in a reflective FDMA-PON: Results from the EU project FABULOUS

Abstract:

In this paper, we present a new FDMA-PON (Frequency Division Multiple Access-Passive Optical Network) architecture proposed by the FP7 EU STREP project titled 'FABULOUS'. The paper is focused on the upstream transmission, based on an innovative reflective optical network unit (R-ONU). A detailed theoretical analysis is first presented and used to optimize the system parameters, then we show the experimental results, demonstrating a 16 Gbps upstream bit rate per wavelength. © 2014 IEEE.
