1 Introduction

Adaptation of passive optical network (PON) requires anefficient multiple access technology that can support maxi-mum number of subscribers at high data rates and extendedreach Time division multiplexed (TDM) PON is deployed toprovide the necessary broadband services in access domainHowever the time-sharing property of TDM PON limitsthe amount of data per subscriber Consequently wave-length divisionmultiplexed (WDM) technology is adapted toenhance network capacity in terms of data and the numberof subscribers Nevertheless deployment of WDM-PON islimited by the use of relatively expensive components atboth the transmitter and receiver modules Moreover thescarcity of available wavelengths confines the use of WDM-PON for large number of subscribers in next-generationPONs [1] Consequently optical code division multipleaccess (OCDMA) systems are expected to solve the last-mile

bottleneck between high speed coremetro networks andaccess domain [1ndash4]

Among all OCDMA systems for the access domain spec-tral amplitude coding (SAC) family has gained significantattention because of the desirable correlation properties flex-ibility of implementation and support for high transmissioncapacity [5] SAC-OCDMA coding schemes are a family of119870binary [01015840119904 11015840119904] sequences characterized by auto- and cross-correlation (120582119888) properties along with desirable length (119873)and weight (119908) [4ndash6] An optimal SAC-OCDMA codingscheme is one that provides desirable BER le10minus9 by reduc-ing multiaccess interference (MAI) and associated phaseinduced intensity noise (PIIN) through suitable correlationproperties minimum length large weights flexibility ofimplementation and reduced hardware complexity Severalcoding algorithms have been designed in SAC family toprovide high capacity along with extended reach however

Figure 1 Conventional SAC-OCDMA system

the use of suitable binary sequence is still an open issue[3 5 7ndash10]

Another problem that limits the deployment of SAC-OCDMA system at access domain is the lack of a suitableprotection mechanism [13 14] Conventional SAC-OCDMAsystems are built with tree architecture that utilize a longfeeder fiber (FF) to connect optical line terminal (OLT) atCO with remote node (RN) at the subscriber premises asshown in Figure 1 End-face of the passive RN connectsmultiple optical network units (ONUs) through short spandedicated distribution fibers (DFs) Figure 1 shows the basicarchitecture of SAC-OCDMA system where no protection isprovided between CO andONUs [3 4]This significantly ele-vates the loss of data in case of failures at optical components(including fibers) Therefore it is imperative to design anefficient protection mechanism that facilitates the detectionand recovery of cutsfailures throughout the network inorder to ensure the success of SAC-OCDMA technology atthe access domain

This paper proposes an efficient SAC-OCDMA sys-tem with high transmission capacity through enhancedmultidiagonal (EMD) code Moreover a robust tree-basedhybrid protection architecture is proposed for survivabilityenhancement along with self-healing capacity at both feederand distribution fibers The proposed solution includes anew star-ring protection architecture that provides pre-planned redundancy without duplicating the entire fibersetup at distribution network Performance of the proposedtree-based hybrid system is analyzed using comprehen-sive analytical and simulation analysis by referring to biterror rate (BER) and eye patterns Redundancy operationof the proposed system is also observed for failures atboth feeder and distribution fibers Furthermore capitalexpenditure (CAPEX) and operation expenditure (OPEX)of the proposed setup are also computed to determine thefeasibility of implementation in comparison with existingsolutions

Rest of the paper is organized as follows Section 2 dis-cusses the construction of EMD code followed by a detaileddesign and implementation of the proposed architecture inSection 3 Analytic and simulation analysis for transmissioncapacity of the proposed setup is performed in Section 4Section 5 covers the survivability analysis of the proposedtree-based SAC-OCDMA system for failures at the feederand distribution levels Detailed cost analysis is presented inSection 6 that is followed by the final conclusion in Section 7

2 Enhanced Multidiagonal Code

EMD code is used in the proposed system to achieve therequired transmission capacity in terms of data reach andnumber of subscribers EMD code is designed with two-matrix structure including data matrix (119863119899) and code matrix(119862119899) Chips in 119863119899 are used to encode the data bits afterspectral translation whereas 119862119899 chips refer to the code bitsthat are embedded to elevate the performance of EMD basedSAC-OCDMA system [15] Moreover EMD coding algo-rithm is designed with three basic performance parametersincluding119873119908 and120582119888 between adjacent codesThe followingsection outlines the properties of119863119899 and 119862119899 followed by theimplementation of EMDmatrix

EMD = [119863119899 | 119862119888]119870times119873 (1)

21 Data Matrix 119863119899 consists of a 119870 times 119870 diagonal matrixwhere119870 rows and119870 columns of thematrix represent numberof subscribers and length of 119863119899 respectively Furthermore119863119899 is designed with multiple rows of length 119870 119908 = 1 and119888 = 0 Therefore the basic 2 times 2 119863119899 can be written as

119863119899 = [1 00 1] (2)

22 Code Matrix 119862119899 consists of a 119870 times 119869 matrix where 119870rows and 119869 columns represent the number of subscribersand length of the matrix respectively 119862119899 for EMD code isdesigned with multiple rows of 119869 = 119870 + 1 119908 = 2 and 119888 = 1between the codes in adjacent rowsThe basic 2times3 119862119899 can bewritten as

119862119899 = [0 1 11 1 0] (3)

Consequently the proposed EMD code while using (1)and the properties of119863119899 119862119899 is given by

EMD2 = [1 0 | 0 1 10 1 | 1 1 0]2times5

(4)

Equation (4) shows that 10158401 2 11015840 combination is main-tained between adjacent EMD codes The number of sub-scribers in EMD code can be increased through simplediagonal mapping while maintaining the respective prop-erties of 119863119899 and 119862119899 This increases the cardinality of SAC-OCDMA systemwithminimum impact on119873 for EMD codeConsequently EMD code matrix for 4 subscribers is given by

EMD4 =[[[[[[

3 Proposed SAC-OCDMA System

The proposed tree-based hybrid SAC-OCDMA system con-sists of the following components

31 Central Office Central office is located at the serviceprovider premises and houses multiple OLT ports whichgenerates required services towards the PON distributionnetwork OLT consists of the following

311 Optical Source Optical source is crucial in designingan efficient and reliable SAC-OCDMA system because of itssignificant effect on the cost and performance of PON [3 16]OCDMA systems can be classified into two types accordingto the choice of optical sources coherent and in-coherentOCDMA Prior system requires highly coherent ultra-shortlight pulses (MLL supercontinuum laser etc) in order tomaintain nominal BER in high capacity systems Such sourcesare difficult to tune and involve precise laser positioning to

assure efficient performance This significantly increases thecost and complexity of the OCDMA system

Moreover localized power distribution in coherent opti-cal sources requires complex equipment to translate binary01015840119904 and 11015840119904 into spectral representation Most of the encodersrequire complex tuning and fast electronic circuits thatfurther elevates the cost and complexity of implementationfor coherent SAC-OCDMA systems at the last-mile sectionof the network [17]

Broadband sources (BBSs) with relatively same powerdistribution throughout their bandwidth facilitate therequired encoding at the expense of simple setup MoreoverBBSs like light emitting diodes (LEDs) have shown efficientperformance with simple in-coherent decoding techniquesincluding balanced and direct detection [16] FurthermoreSAC-OCDMA systems are targeted to support economicalaccess networks therefore optical source with low costsimple drive circuits flexibility of encoding immunityto beat noise and stable performance are suitable forimplementation of the proposed tree-based hybrid SAC-OCDMA system for PON

Thus OLT for the proposed system contains an array ofLEDs which are tuned at different wavelengths to supportdesirable number of subscribers Output from the LED isfed into 1 3 optical coupler (OCP) in order to provide therequired spectrum for code chips at input of the encoder asshown in Figure 2

312 Encoder Design of a suitable encoder is observedas of critical concern for the implementation of SAC-OCDMA system in terms of functioning and ability toperform the required encoding Various devices have beenproposed for encoding operation in SAC-OCDMA systemhowever the use of suitable device is still an open issue[3 4 18 19]

Figure 3 Spectral representation of encoded [0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0] bits in EMD code

This paper utilizes optical multiplexer (MUX) for trans-lating the proposed binary sequence into spectral repre-sentation at OLT [7 8] Each input of the optical MUXcontains a bandpass filter which is tuned to select the desiredspectrum in accordance with EMD chips Figure 3 representsthe implementation of EMD code [0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0]through a 3 1 MUX with 04 nm bandpass Bessel filters atthe input It is observed that the proposed arrangement canefficiently perform the required binary to optical conversionwith maximum precision and simple architecture

End-face of the optical encoder is connected with Mach-Zehnder Modulator (MZM) which combines optical signalwith data from individual subscriber Output of the modulat-ing arrangement is applied to N 1 OCP with 119873 input and 1output port as shown in Figure 2 OCP is further connectedwith a three-port optical circulator (OCco) that is fed intoswitching arrangement (SA) through an erbium doped fiberamplifier (EDFA)

313 Switching Arrangement Switching arrangement (SAco)consists of a 1 2 optical switch (OSsa) that connects OLTwith both primary and secondary feeder fibers (FFp FFs) asshown in Figure 2 OSsa is used to perform the necessaryswitching between FFp and FFs when a cutfailure occurs atthe feeder fiber Under normal mode of operation OSsa is atposition 1 and all traffic is supplied through FFp Positionof the proposed OSsa is controlled by OLT medium accesscontrol (MAC) layer which is responsible for fault detectionand restoration at the feeder level Consequently no extraarrangement is required for changing OSsa positions forseamless transmission between OLT and ONUmodules

32 Remote Nodes The proposed tree-based hybrid SAC-OCDMA system utilizes a single remote node to facilitatecommunication between CO and subscriber premises RNhouses a 2 119873 OCP that connects each ONU with both FFpand FFs at the input and short span dedicated DFs at theend-face as shown in Figure 2 RN facilitates ubiquitoustransmission of down- and upstream traffic by simultane-ously connecting each ONU with both FFp FFs fibers Thisallows the proposed system to immediately restore the flowof affected traffic in case of failure across the network

33 Optical Network Unit Optical network unit ONU119898119898 = 1 2 3 119872 consists of a 1 2 OCP with 3 ports

as shown in Figure 2 Ports 1 and 2 are connected todedicated DF119898 and a 2 1 optical switch OSonu119898 respec-tively Port 3 extends the ring based protection fiber (PFr)towards its neighboring ONUs Ring based redundancyarrangement provides the required preplanned protectionwithout duplicating entire fiber at the distribution networkMoreover use of star-ring topology eliminates the significantpower loss that is encountered in single-ring based PON[13 20ndash22]

OSonu119898 is at position 1 under normal mode of operationand all traffic is being sent and received though dedicatedDFsWhile in case of failure at theDF optical switch ismovedtowards position 2 which connects the effected ONU withredundant PFr Fault detection and switching operation atdistribution level are controlled through ONU119898 MAC layerin order to avoid extra arrangement for network survivabilityat ONU modules

End-face of OSonu119898 is fed into a three-port opticalcirculator (OConu) which is further connected with ONU119898receivingmodule as shown in Figure 2ONU receivermoduleconsists of a bandpass filter (for SDD technique) whichrecovers the nonoverlapping spectral chip 119863119899 only Outputof decoding arrangement is connected with PIN photodiodewhich is fed into Bessel low pass filter (LPF) followed bydecision-making (DM) circuit

331 Spectral Direct Detection Technique SDD techniqueis readily employed for coding schemes with ideal cross-correlation properties owing to its significant advantages likesimple implementation minimum expenditure and removalof MAI and associated PIIN at the receiving photodiodeThe principle of SDD technique is based on the recoveryof nonoverlapping spectral chip only rendering maximumautocorrelationwith the intended signal andminimumcross-correlation with interfererrsquos [7 23]

This technique is implemented through a simple band-pass filter which is centered to recover the nonoverlappingspectral chip only However it is necessary to send theentire coded spectrum in order to maintain integrity ofthe full address along with efficient power at the receivingphotodiode Figure 4 shows the implementation of SDDtechnique at the receiving ONU in the proposed setupDecoding arrangement consists of a single bandpass filterwhich is centered to recover 119863119899 chip only This operation

4 Performance Analysis

Conversion of the received optical signal into electricaldomain is accompanied with shot PIIN and thermal noisesgenerated at the PIN photodiode Presence of these noisesources significantly reduces quality of the received sig-nal which elevates BER at the receiving end Thereforeit is imperative to determine performance of the pro-posed tree-based hybrid SAC-OCDMA system in the pres-ence of shot PIIN and thermal noises at the receivingphotodiode

41 Analytic Analysis Performance of the proposed tree-based hybrid SAC-OCDMA system is analyzed with refer-ence to signal to noise ratio (SNR) and BER of EMD code atthe encoder and SDDat the decoder Gaussian approximationis used to evaluate the performance while considering noisepowers at the receiving end [4] If 119868 represents the incidentcurrent 1198682 represents the power spectral density (PSD) and1205902 gives noise variance at the receiving photodiodeThen thetotal SNR is given by [8 15]

SNR = [ 11986821205902] (7)

where 1205902 is the sum of shot ⟨1198942shot⟩ PIIN ⟨1198942PIIN⟩ and thermal⟨1198942thermal⟩ noise powers which can also be written as

1205902 = 2119890119861119868 + 1198682119861120591119888 + 4119870119887119879119899119861119877119871 (8)

Table 1 shows the specifications and description of 1205902parameters in (8) Moreover the coherent time 120591119888 of intensitynoise terms in the photodiode output is given by

120591119888 = intinfin119900119866 (120592)2 119889120592

[intinfin119900119866 (120592) 119889120592]2 (9)

119866(120592) in (9) shows the PSD at the receiving photodiodeIn order to analyze performance of the proposed tree-based hybrid SAC-OCDMA system while using Gaussianapproximation it is assumed that each optical source isideally polarized with smooth spectrum throughout its band-width Moreover PIN photodiodes receive identical spectralwidth and power (119875sr) from each optical source [4 7 8]

If 119861119896(119894) denotes the 119894th element of 119870th EMD codethen the correlation properties at SDD based decoder if therequired information is recoverable from 119863119899 chip only aregiven by

119873sum119894=1

119866 (120592) 119889120592 = 119875sr119908119873 (14)

Now the total incident current from (14) can be written as

119868 = R119875sr119908119873 (15)

R represents responsitivity of the receiving photodiodegiven by R = 120578119890ℎ120592119888 Table 1 shows the description andspecification of R parameters Thus total shot noise powerdue to a single LED after using (15) and (8) becomes

⟨1198942shot⟩ = 2119890119861R119875sr119908119873 (16)

It is assumed that the required information is recoverablefrom the nonoverlapping 119863119899 chip only which is directlydetected by the receiving photodiode as in normal intensitymodulationThus PIINnoise power is set equal to zero due tothe large difference between the auto- and cross-correlationproperty amongst the intended subscriber and interfererrsquos[4 7 23]

Consequently the total SNR based on (7) (8) and (16)when the probability of each user transmitting bit 1 at anyinstant is 12 can be written as

SNR = [R119875sr119908119873]2119890119861R119875sr119908119873 + 4119870119887119879119899119861119877119871 (17)

The estimated BER while using Gaussian approximationfor the proposed tree-based hybrid SAC-OCDMA systemcan be calculated as BER = (12)erfcradicSNR8 Figure 5shows transmission capacity of the proposed system byvarying number of subscribers at performance parameters inTable 1 It is shown that the proposed systemprovides efficientperformance in terms of SNR and BER as we increase thenumber of subscribers Fixed cross-correlation property ofEMD code reduces interference from adjacent subscribers [815] Moreover SDD technique receives the nonoverlappingspectral chip only which results in maximum differencebetween auto- and cross-correlation functions at the receiv-ing photodiode [4 7] Therefore SNR and related BER areoptimized since bothMAI and associated PIIN are eliminatedbefore the signal is converted to electrical domain

Figure 7 Performance analysis of the proposed tree-based hybridSAC-OCDMA system

42 SimulationAnalysis OptiSystem is used to analyze trans-mission capacity of the proposed tree-based hybrid SAC-OCDMA system in comparison with analytic model Anal-ysis is performed for 64 subscribers at back-to-back (B2B)and 25 km single mode fiber (SMF) fiber while using systemparameters shown in Table 2 Moreover EDFA gain andcomponent losses are adjusted tomaintainminus10 dBmpower atthe receiving photodiodes BER and eye pattern are observedat different data rates for performance analysis

Figure 7 shows transmission capacity of the proposedarchitecture in comparison with analytic and B2B results Itis observed that simulation and analytic analysis shows prox-imity with regard to BER for multiple subscribers simultane-ously accessing themediumwhich validates the performanceanalysis Moreover it is observed that BER increases for B2Bfollowed by fiber based simulation analysis It is evident fromthe fact that fiber introduces dispersion and attenuation to theencoded spectrum which further deteriorates performanceof the system However it is not significant enough to disruptthe normal operation Figure 7 also shows that the use of extracomponents like switches OCPs and so forth for protectionhas minuscule (almost negligible) effect on performance ofthe proposed SAC-OCDMA system

Figure 8 shows eye patterns from the simulation analysisat data rates of 1 15 and 2Gbps It is observed that eye

opening decreases as the amount of data increases howeverthe proposed system is able to provide efficient performanceby maintaining nominal eye openings at data rates of up to2Gbps

5 Survivability Analysis

This section outlines the fault detection and restorationcapacity of the proposed setup in terms of system initiationdetection and recovery at both feeder and distribution level

51 Initiation It is assumed that the proposed system is undernormalmode of operationOLTwill start and check the statusof FFp before transmitting any traffic OLT MAC layer willuse discovery gate (DG) packets [13] to check the status ofFFp If OLT receive acknowledgment (ACK) messages fromall or someONUmodules for the correspondingDGpacketsit will start its transmission using FFp However if no ACKmessages are received OLT will flip the switch towards FFsand check its status before transmission OLT will use thesame mechanism by sending DG packets to the connectedONUs for the status of FFs On the reception ofACKmessagesfrom ONUs OLT will start its operation via FFs In case ofnegative ACKs OLT will flip the switch towards its originalposition and wait for a specific time 119879s before starting theentire process again

Similarly ONUs will check for the connected DFs afterinitiating their normal operation They will also send a DGpacket towards OLT to check the working status of theircorresponding DF For positive ACK messages ONU willcontinue its normal operation through DF In case of noACKmessages ONUMAC layer will flip the switch positiontowards the redundant PF

While using the same mechanism ONU will check thestatus of the PF by sending DG packets towards OLT Forpositive ACKmessages ONU will resume its operation usingPF whereas in case of negative ACK messages ONU MAClayer will flip the switch towards its initial position and waitfor a specific time 119879s before starting the entire process again52 Feeder Fiber Failure To understand self-healing mech-anism of the proposed protection architecture it is assumedthat system is under normal mode of operation and all trafficfrom OLT is delivered through FFp During transmissionOLT will listen to the loss of signal (LOS) which representsthe absence of upstream signals from the connected ONUsIn case of no LOS OLT will continue its normal operationthrough FFp with OSsa at port 1

If failure or cut occurs at point 10158401198911015840 in FFp as shownin Figure 9 OLT will stop to receive any upstream trafficfrom the access domain At the same time OLT will notbe able to transmit any downstream traffic to the con-nected ONUs since FFp is the only transmission mediumbetween OLT and ONUs This will trigger the LOS flag atOLT

Consequently OLT MAC layer will initiate its recoverymechanism and send DG packets towards ONU modulesDG packets will determine the status of FFp concerning ACK

messages from ONUs that is if OLT receives ACK from allor some ONUs for the corresponding DG packets it willcontinue its normal operation However if no ACKmessagesare received OLT will retransmit the DG packets to confirmthe fault at the connected FFp After several attempts if noACKmessages are received from the access arena OLTMAClayerwill confirm that FFp is faulty and flip the switch towardsport 2 MAC layer will check the status of FFs through DGpackets Section 51 before transmitting information Forpositive ACK messages MAC layer will direct the OLT tostart transmission through the newly switched FFs as shownin Figure 9

OLT will continue its normal operation while using FFsand listen to the LOS until FFp is repaired It must be notedthat fault at FF will also disconnect the ONUs in accessdomain Consequently they will also initiate their recoverymechanism to resolve the flow of affected traffic whichwill lead to unnecessary switching at ONUs Therefore itis imperative to increase resolution time and mechanism offault detection in ONU modules as compared to OLT Thiswill avoid the unnecessary switching atONUs before the issueis resolved at the affected OLT

53 Distribution Fiber Failure Effect of failure at theDF is notas severe as that of the FF since the flow of traffic is disruptedto a single ONU Nevertheless this needs to be addressedin order to provide high subscriber satisfaction and reduceservice interruption penalty costs [11] in case of businesssubscribers at the access domain To explain the self-healing

mechanism at distribution level of the network ONU2 isconsidered which is under normal mode of operation OS2is at position 1 and all traffic is sent and received throughthe corresponding DF During transmission ONU2 will alsolisten to LOS which represents the absence of downstreamsignals from connected OLT In case of no LOS ONU2 willcontinue its normal operation through its corresponding DFwith OS2 at port 1 In case of failure at point 10158401198881015840 in the DFONU2 will not receive any downstream traffic from OLTSimilarly OLT will not receive any upstream traffic fromONU2 This will trigger LOS flag at ONU2

Thus ONU2 will initiate its recovery mechanism andMAC layer will send DG packet towards OLT in order toconfirm the status of connected DF On the reception ofACK messages from OLT ONU2 will continue its normaloperation with OS2 at position 1 If no ACK message isreceived from OLT ONU2 will perform several attempts toconfirm the status of connected DF The number of DGpackets sent by ONU2 must be twice as that of the ones sentby OLT in order to avoid any unnecessary switching

For repeated negative ACKs ONU2 will confirm thestatus of failure and flips the switch towards port 2 Con-sequently the flow of traffic will shift from DF to the DRbetween ONU2 and ONU3 as shown in Figure 10 Now alltraffic from ONU2 will be sent and received by the DF ofONU3 through the intermediate PF

It must be noted that each affected ONU can restore theflow traffic by reconnecting with OLT through its neighbor-ing ONUs in case of failure at the DF Based on the sameprinciple if failure or cut occurs at several DFs the affectedONUs can share the DFs with working ONUs to reconnectwith OLT

54 Restoration Time The time required for fault detec-tion and restoration can be determined by referring to theautodiscovery process in IEEE 8023ah [20] Let119879dg representthe time required by OLT to trigger LOS flag and send aDG packet towards the ONU modules Fault discovery isstarted after OLT sends the DG packets and takes 2119879cycle tocomplete the registration process from a single ONU In caseof negative acknowledgment OLT will retransmit the DG

ONU MAC layer adapts the same DG packets forfault detection at the distribution level Therefore the timerequired for fault detection and restoration at ONUmodulescan be determined through same methodology However itis necessary to increase the number of DG packets at ONUmodules in order to avoid unnecessary switching for the eventof failure at FFp Therefore the time required by ONUMAClayer for fault detection and switching operation is to be givenby 119879dg + 2119879cycle + 2119879cycle + 2119879cycle + 2119879cycle + 119879119904witching55 Power Budget and Network Capacity Power budgetrepresents the sum of losses at each component between OLTand ONUs The purpose of power budgeting in PONs is toensure the efficient delivery of transmitted data with nominalpower ratings since low power at the PIN photodiode cangenerate substantial amount of short and thermal noiseMoreover it also determines the OCP splitting ratio atRN which translates the number of subscribers in PONTherefore it is necessary to analyze power budget of theproposed system in order to ensure high capacity

For efficient recovery of transmitted information it isimperative that power received at the PIN photodiode mustbe greater than its 119877sen Table 3 shows the insertion losses atdownstream of the proposed tree-based protection architec-ture for SAC-OCDMA system [14]

If 119875CO represents the power drop across the central officewhich is the sum of insertion losses and gains of opticalcomponents at the CO as shown in Table 3 119875RN gives thepower loss across the FF and 2 119873OCP and 119875DN is the powerloss across the distribution network components then thedownstream power budget 119875DS can be calculated as

Table 4 shows the downstream power budget for theproposed tree-based hybrid protection architecture whileusing insertion losses fromTable 4 It is shown that utilizationof EDFA at CO can elevate power of the encoded spec-trum Therefore it can be detected and efficiently recoveredat the receiving photodiode Moreover without the useof EDFA at the transmitter module the value of 119875sr =minus10 dBm This value is significantly lower than requiredfor an error-free recovery Therefore a gain of 10 dB andabove is required for error-free transmission between OLTand ONU receiver module Same analogy applies on theupstream traffic which uses identical encoding and decodingarchitecture at ONU transmitter and OLT receiver modulerespectively

Furthermore downstream power budget in Table 4is determined with 2 64 OCP between OLT and ONUsIt is evident that end-face of RN represents the numberof ONUs in the access domain Therefore the proposedsystem can easily support 64 subscribers with nominalpower ratings at the receiving photodiode Furthermoreincrease in EDFA gain within minus5simminus30 dB can provide sup-port for desired number of subscribers in the proposedarchitecture

6 Cost Analysis

Cost figures of protection architectures are an importantparameter showing the economic benefits for a common enduser at the access domain This section determines overallexpenditure of the proposed architecture in comparison withexisting ITU-T type C D and hybrid architectures whileusing component costs in Table 5 [11 24] Cost figuresfor PON can be categorized as CAPEX and OPEX [1425] CAPEX represents the investment that is required forthe installation and deployment of PON in access domainCAPEX is calculated by computing the cost of networkequipment and fiber infrastructure Moreover CAPEX persubscribers is determined by dividing the sum of networkequipment and fiber infrastructure costs over the number ofsubscribers

OPEX is related to the cost of network operation fromthe time of deployment till replacement by a new technologyOPEX mainly consists of failure reparation cost serviceinterruption penalties and power consumed by active com-ponents at OLT and ONUs Reparation cost depends on thenumber of failures during the network lifetimeMean lifetimeandMTTRof each component determine the total downtowntime per year which is multiplied by the number of tech-nicians required and their salaries in order to calculate theyearly failure reparation cost Service interruption penaltiesinclude the expenditure that is spent on the fine defined inservice level agreement (SLA) between network operatorsand subscribers If the service interruption time is higherthan a threshold mentioned in SLA the operator has to pay afee depending on the interval that the service is unavailablePower consumption for OPEX is calculated by multiplyingthe sum of energy consumption of all active componentsduring the network lifetime with the unit price of electricalenergy [11 12 25 26]

Analysis is performed for residential customers only andlife span of the system is taken as 20 years Furthermore

(i) each OLT contains 4 ports with 16 subscribers perport

(ii) each architecture contains 20 km FF 5 km DF and1 km protection fiber between adjacent ONUs

(iii) cost of TDM and OCDMA based OLT and ONUs istaken to be the same

(iv) due to high variation in fiber digging cost it isassumed that fiber is laid in existing trenches at bothfeeder and distribution level

(v) no penalty cost is considered as only residentialcustomers are considered

(vi) repairing cost is 1000 $h(vii) per hour cost of electricity is taken to be 025 $kWh

If 119872 represents the number of PONs and 119873 is the totalnumber of subscribers then CAPEX equations (base onRBDs) for the considered protection architectures can bewritten as

119862[119862] = (119872 timesOLT timesOLT) + (20 times FF times FF)+ (119872 times 2 times 2 119873 OCP)+ (5 times 119873 times DF times DF)+ (119873 timesONU timesONU)

119862[119863] = (119872 timesOLT timesOLT) + (20 times FF times FF)+ (119872 timesOCP timesOCP)+ (119872 times 2 times 2 119873 OCP)+ (5 times 119873 times DF times DF)+ (119873 timesONU timesONU)

119862[119867] = (119872 timesOLT timesOLT) + (20 times FR)+ (119872 timesOCP) + (119872 times 2 119873 OCP)+ (5 times 119873 times DF) + (119873 timesONU)

119862[PT] = (119872 timesOLT) +OS + EDFA + (20 times FF times FF)+ (119872 times 2 119873 OCP) + (5 times 119873 times DF)+ (119873 times DR) + (119873 timesOCP) + (119873 timesOS)+ (119873 timesONU)

Figure 11(a) shows the deployment cost of different pro-tection architectures It is observed that the proposed archi-tecture requires minimum CAPEX in comparison with typesC D and hybrid schemes It is evident from the fact that typesC and D duplicate the entire PON which requires significant

amount of CAPEX for deployment Furthermore duplicationof OLT in hybrid architecture increases the overall cost ofdeployment as OLT is the most expensive active componentin PON shown in Table 5 Deployment cost of the proposedtree-based protection architecture is relatively low since itavoids duplication of OLT at the COMoreover efficient star-ring redundancy at the distribution level further reduces thecost of deployment by avoiding extensive fiber duplicationAs this architecture utilizes minimum components in systemconstruction therefore energy consumption in Figure 11 isalso significantly low

Figure 11(b) shows expenditure spent on the operation ofPONs after deployment It is observed that hybrid schemerequires the highest OPEX since no protection is provided atthe distribution level This significantly elevates the networkdowntime per year andmore resources are spent on detectingand recovering faults Figure 11(b) shows that the proposedarchitecture along with types C and D requires minimumreparation cost owing to desirable connection availabilityand minimal downtime per year Moreover no duplicationat OLT and ONU significantly reduces energy consumptionof the proposed architecture as compared to types C D andhybrid networks

Consequently the proposed tree-based hybrid SAC-OCDMA system requires minimum cost of deployment andoperation as shown in Figure 12 due to

(i) efficient star-ring topology that reduces the amountof DF and hence the cost required for deployment

(ii) no redundant OLT and ONU which reduce thedeployment cost and energy consumption over thenetwork life time

(iii) fault detection and restoration at both feeder andthe distribution level which significantly reduce the

Figure 1 Conventional SAC-OCDMA system

the use of suitable binary sequence is still an open issue[3 5 7ndash10]

Another problem that limits the deployment of SAC-OCDMA system at access domain is the lack of a suitableprotection mechanism [13 14] Conventional SAC-OCDMAsystems are built with tree architecture that utilize a longfeeder fiber (FF) to connect optical line terminal (OLT) atCO with remote node (RN) at the subscriber premises asshown in Figure 1 End-face of the passive RN connectsmultiple optical network units (ONUs) through short spandedicated distribution fibers (DFs) Figure 1 shows the basicarchitecture of SAC-OCDMA system where no protection isprovided between CO andONUs [3 4]This significantly ele-vates the loss of data in case of failures at optical components(including fibers) Therefore it is imperative to design anefficient protection mechanism that facilitates the detectionand recovery of cutsfailures throughout the network inorder to ensure the success of SAC-OCDMA technology atthe access domain

This paper proposes an efficient SAC-OCDMA sys-tem with high transmission capacity through enhancedmultidiagonal (EMD) code Moreover a robust tree-basedhybrid protection architecture is proposed for survivabilityenhancement along with self-healing capacity at both feederand distribution fibers The proposed solution includes anew star-ring protection architecture that provides pre-planned redundancy without duplicating the entire fibersetup at distribution network Performance of the proposedtree-based hybrid system is analyzed using comprehen-sive analytical and simulation analysis by referring to biterror rate (BER) and eye patterns Redundancy operationof the proposed system is also observed for failures atboth feeder and distribution fibers Furthermore capitalexpenditure (CAPEX) and operation expenditure (OPEX)of the proposed setup are also computed to determine thefeasibility of implementation in comparison with existingsolutions

Rest of the paper is organized as follows Section 2 dis-cusses the construction of EMD code followed by a detaileddesign and implementation of the proposed architecture inSection 3 Analytic and simulation analysis for transmissioncapacity of the proposed setup is performed in Section 4Section 5 covers the survivability analysis of the proposedtree-based SAC-OCDMA system for failures at the feederand distribution levels Detailed cost analysis is presented inSection 6 that is followed by the final conclusion in Section 7

2 Enhanced Multidiagonal Code

EMD code is used in the proposed system to achieve therequired transmission capacity in terms of data reach andnumber of subscribers EMD code is designed with two-matrix structure including data matrix (119863119899) and code matrix(119862119899) Chips in 119863119899 are used to encode the data bits afterspectral translation whereas 119862119899 chips refer to the code bitsthat are embedded to elevate the performance of EMD basedSAC-OCDMA system [15] Moreover EMD coding algo-rithm is designed with three basic performance parametersincluding119873119908 and120582119888 between adjacent codesThe followingsection outlines the properties of119863119899 and 119862119899 followed by theimplementation of EMDmatrix

EMD = [119863119899 | 119862119888]119870times119873 (1)

21 Data Matrix 119863119899 consists of a 119870 times 119870 diagonal matrixwhere119870 rows and119870 columns of thematrix represent numberof subscribers and length of 119863119899 respectively Furthermore119863119899 is designed with multiple rows of length 119870 119908 = 1 and119888 = 0 Therefore the basic 2 times 2 119863119899 can be written as

119863119899 = [1 00 1] (2)

22 Code Matrix 119862119899 consists of a 119870 times 119869 matrix where 119870rows and 119869 columns represent the number of subscribersand length of the matrix respectively 119862119899 for EMD code isdesigned with multiple rows of 119869 = 119870 + 1 119908 = 2 and 119888 = 1between the codes in adjacent rowsThe basic 2times3 119862119899 can bewritten as

119862119899 = [0 1 11 1 0] (3)

Consequently the proposed EMD code while using (1)and the properties of119863119899 119862119899 is given by

EMD2 = [1 0 | 0 1 10 1 | 1 1 0]2times5

Equation (4) shows that 10158401 2 11015840 combination is main-tained between adjacent EMD codes The number of sub-scribers in EMD code can be increased through simplediagonal mapping while maintaining the respective prop-erties of 119863119899 and 119862119899 This increases the cardinality of SAC-OCDMA systemwithminimum impact on119873 for EMD codeConsequently EMD code matrix for 4 subscribers is given by

3 Proposed SAC-OCDMA System

The proposed tree-based hybrid SAC-OCDMA system con-sists of the following components

31 Central Office Central office is located at the serviceprovider premises and houses multiple OLT ports whichgenerates required services towards the PON distributionnetwork OLT consists of the following

311 Optical Source Optical source is crucial in designingan efficient and reliable SAC-OCDMA system because of itssignificant effect on the cost and performance of PON [3 16]OCDMA systems can be classified into two types accordingto the choice of optical sources coherent and in-coherentOCDMA Prior system requires highly coherent ultra-shortlight pulses (MLL supercontinuum laser etc) in order tomaintain nominal BER in high capacity systems Such sourcesare difficult to tune and involve precise laser positioning to

assure efficient performance This significantly increases thecost and complexity of the OCDMA system

Moreover localized power distribution in coherent opti-cal sources requires complex equipment to translate binary01015840119904 and 11015840119904 into spectral representation Most of the encodersrequire complex tuning and fast electronic circuits thatfurther elevates the cost and complexity of implementationfor coherent SAC-OCDMA systems at the last-mile sectionof the network [17]

Broadband sources (BBSs) with relatively same powerdistribution throughout their bandwidth facilitate therequired encoding at the expense of simple setup MoreoverBBSs like light emitting diodes (LEDs) have shown efficientperformance with simple in-coherent decoding techniquesincluding balanced and direct detection [16] FurthermoreSAC-OCDMA systems are targeted to support economicalaccess networks therefore optical source with low costsimple drive circuits flexibility of encoding immunityto beat noise and stable performance are suitable forimplementation of the proposed tree-based hybrid SAC-OCDMA system for PON

Thus OLT for the proposed system contains an array ofLEDs which are tuned at different wavelengths to supportdesirable number of subscribers Output from the LED isfed into 1 3 optical coupler (OCP) in order to provide therequired spectrum for code chips at input of the encoder asshown in Figure 2

312 Encoder Design of a suitable encoder is observedas of critical concern for the implementation of SAC-OCDMA system in terms of functioning and ability toperform the required encoding Various devices have beenproposed for encoding operation in SAC-OCDMA systemhowever the use of suitable device is still an open issue[3 4 18 19]

Figure 3 Spectral representation of encoded [0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0] bits in EMD code

This paper utilizes optical multiplexer (MUX) for trans-lating the proposed binary sequence into spectral repre-sentation at OLT [7 8] Each input of the optical MUXcontains a bandpass filter which is tuned to select the desiredspectrum in accordance with EMD chips Figure 3 representsthe implementation of EMD code [0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0]through a 3 1 MUX with 04 nm bandpass Bessel filters atthe input It is observed that the proposed arrangement canefficiently perform the required binary to optical conversionwith maximum precision and simple architecture

End-face of the optical encoder is connected with Mach-Zehnder Modulator (MZM) which combines optical signalwith data from individual subscriber Output of the modulat-ing arrangement is applied to N 1 OCP with 119873 input and 1output port as shown in Figure 2 OCP is further connectedwith a three-port optical circulator (OCco) that is fed intoswitching arrangement (SA) through an erbium doped fiberamplifier (EDFA)

313 Switching Arrangement Switching arrangement (SAco)consists of a 1 2 optical switch (OSsa) that connects OLTwith both primary and secondary feeder fibers (FFp FFs) asshown in Figure 2 OSsa is used to perform the necessaryswitching between FFp and FFs when a cutfailure occurs atthe feeder fiber Under normal mode of operation OSsa is atposition 1 and all traffic is supplied through FFp Positionof the proposed OSsa is controlled by OLT medium accesscontrol (MAC) layer which is responsible for fault detectionand restoration at the feeder level Consequently no extraarrangement is required for changing OSsa positions forseamless transmission between OLT and ONUmodules

32 Remote Nodes The proposed tree-based hybrid SAC-OCDMA system utilizes a single remote node to facilitatecommunication between CO and subscriber premises RNhouses a 2 119873 OCP that connects each ONU with both FFpand FFs at the input and short span dedicated DFs at theend-face as shown in Figure 2 RN facilitates ubiquitoustransmission of down- and upstream traffic by simultane-ously connecting each ONU with both FFp FFs fibers Thisallows the proposed system to immediately restore the flowof affected traffic in case of failure across the network

33 Optical Network Unit Optical network unit ONU119898119898 = 1 2 3 119872 consists of a 1 2 OCP with 3 ports

as shown in Figure 2 Ports 1 and 2 are connected todedicated DF119898 and a 2 1 optical switch OSonu119898 respec-tively Port 3 extends the ring based protection fiber (PFr)towards its neighboring ONUs Ring based redundancyarrangement provides the required preplanned protectionwithout duplicating entire fiber at the distribution networkMoreover use of star-ring topology eliminates the significantpower loss that is encountered in single-ring based PON[13 20ndash22]

OSonu119898 is at position 1 under normal mode of operationand all traffic is being sent and received though dedicatedDFsWhile in case of failure at theDF optical switch ismovedtowards position 2 which connects the effected ONU withredundant PFr Fault detection and switching operation atdistribution level are controlled through ONU119898 MAC layerin order to avoid extra arrangement for network survivabilityat ONU modules

End-face of OSonu119898 is fed into a three-port opticalcirculator (OConu) which is further connected with ONU119898receivingmodule as shown in Figure 2ONU receivermoduleconsists of a bandpass filter (for SDD technique) whichrecovers the nonoverlapping spectral chip 119863119899 only Outputof decoding arrangement is connected with PIN photodiodewhich is fed into Bessel low pass filter (LPF) followed bydecision-making (DM) circuit

331 Spectral Direct Detection Technique SDD techniqueis readily employed for coding schemes with ideal cross-correlation properties owing to its significant advantages likesimple implementation minimum expenditure and removalof MAI and associated PIIN at the receiving photodiodeThe principle of SDD technique is based on the recoveryof nonoverlapping spectral chip only rendering maximumautocorrelationwith the intended signal andminimumcross-correlation with interfererrsquos [7 23]

This technique is implemented through a simple band-pass filter which is centered to recover the nonoverlappingspectral chip only However it is necessary to send theentire coded spectrum in order to maintain integrity ofthe full address along with efficient power at the receivingphotodiode Figure 4 shows the implementation of SDDtechnique at the receiving ONU in the proposed setupDecoding arrangement consists of a single bandpass filterwhich is centered to recover 119863119899 chip only This operation

4 Performance Analysis

Conversion of the received optical signal into electricaldomain is accompanied with shot PIIN and thermal noisesgenerated at the PIN photodiode Presence of these noisesources significantly reduces quality of the received sig-nal which elevates BER at the receiving end Thereforeit is imperative to determine performance of the pro-posed tree-based hybrid SAC-OCDMA system in the pres-ence of shot PIIN and thermal noises at the receivingphotodiode

41 Analytic Analysis Performance of the proposed tree-based hybrid SAC-OCDMA system is analyzed with refer-ence to signal to noise ratio (SNR) and BER of EMD code atthe encoder and SDDat the decoder Gaussian approximationis used to evaluate the performance while considering noisepowers at the receiving end [4] If 119868 represents the incidentcurrent 1198682 represents the power spectral density (PSD) and1205902 gives noise variance at the receiving photodiodeThen thetotal SNR is given by [8 15]

SNR = [ 11986821205902] (7)

where 1205902 is the sum of shot ⟨1198942shot⟩ PIIN ⟨1198942PIIN⟩ and thermal⟨1198942thermal⟩ noise powers which can also be written as

1205902 = 2119890119861119868 + 1198682119861120591119888 + 4119870119887119879119899119861119877119871 (8)

Table 1 shows the specifications and description of 1205902parameters in (8) Moreover the coherent time 120591119888 of intensitynoise terms in the photodiode output is given by

120591119888 = intinfin119900119866 (120592)2 119889120592

[intinfin119900119866 (120592) 119889120592]2 (9)

119866(120592) in (9) shows the PSD at the receiving photodiodeIn order to analyze performance of the proposed tree-based hybrid SAC-OCDMA system while using Gaussianapproximation it is assumed that each optical source isideally polarized with smooth spectrum throughout its band-width Moreover PIN photodiodes receive identical spectralwidth and power (119875sr) from each optical source [4 7 8]

If 119861119896(119894) denotes the 119894th element of 119870th EMD codethen the correlation properties at SDD based decoder if therequired information is recoverable from 119863119899 chip only aregiven by

119873sum119894=1

sum119870119896=1 119889119896 in (13) represent the transmitted bit either 0 or1 by a single subscriber Equation (13) can be simplified byusing the correlation properties in (10) which leads to

intinfin0

119866 (120592) 119889120592 = 119875sr119908119873 (14)

Now the total incident current from (14) can be written as

119868 = R119875sr119908119873 (15)

R represents responsitivity of the receiving photodiodegiven by R = 120578119890ℎ120592119888 Table 1 shows the description andspecification of R parameters Thus total shot noise powerdue to a single LED after using (15) and (8) becomes

⟨1198942shot⟩ = 2119890119861R119875sr119908119873 (16)

It is assumed that the required information is recoverablefrom the nonoverlapping 119863119899 chip only which is directlydetected by the receiving photodiode as in normal intensitymodulationThus PIINnoise power is set equal to zero due tothe large difference between the auto- and cross-correlationproperty amongst the intended subscriber and interfererrsquos[4 7 23]

Consequently the total SNR based on (7) (8) and (16)when the probability of each user transmitting bit 1 at anyinstant is 12 can be written as

SNR = [R119875sr119908119873]2119890119861R119875sr119908119873 + 4119870119887119879119899119861119877119871 (17)

The estimated BER while using Gaussian approximationfor the proposed tree-based hybrid SAC-OCDMA systemcan be calculated as BER = (12)erfcradicSNR8 Figure 5shows transmission capacity of the proposed system byvarying number of subscribers at performance parameters inTable 1 It is shown that the proposed systemprovides efficientperformance in terms of SNR and BER as we increase thenumber of subscribers Fixed cross-correlation property ofEMD code reduces interference from adjacent subscribers [815] Moreover SDD technique receives the nonoverlappingspectral chip only which results in maximum differencebetween auto- and cross-correlation functions at the receiv-ing photodiode [4 7] Therefore SNR and related BER areoptimized since bothMAI and associated PIIN are eliminatedbefore the signal is converted to electrical domain

Figure 7 Performance analysis of the proposed tree-based hybridSAC-OCDMA system

42 SimulationAnalysis OptiSystem is used to analyze trans-mission capacity of the proposed tree-based hybrid SAC-OCDMA system in comparison with analytic model Anal-ysis is performed for 64 subscribers at back-to-back (B2B)and 25 km single mode fiber (SMF) fiber while using systemparameters shown in Table 2 Moreover EDFA gain andcomponent losses are adjusted tomaintainminus10 dBmpower atthe receiving photodiodes BER and eye pattern are observedat different data rates for performance analysis

Figure 7 shows transmission capacity of the proposedarchitecture in comparison with analytic and B2B results Itis observed that simulation and analytic analysis shows prox-imity with regard to BER for multiple subscribers simultane-ously accessing themediumwhich validates the performanceanalysis Moreover it is observed that BER increases for B2Bfollowed by fiber based simulation analysis It is evident fromthe fact that fiber introduces dispersion and attenuation to theencoded spectrum which further deteriorates performanceof the system However it is not significant enough to disruptthe normal operation Figure 7 also shows that the use of extracomponents like switches OCPs and so forth for protectionhas minuscule (almost negligible) effect on performance ofthe proposed SAC-OCDMA system

Figure 8 shows eye patterns from the simulation analysisat data rates of 1 15 and 2Gbps It is observed that eye

opening decreases as the amount of data increases howeverthe proposed system is able to provide efficient performanceby maintaining nominal eye openings at data rates of up to2Gbps

5 Survivability Analysis

This section outlines the fault detection and restorationcapacity of the proposed setup in terms of system initiationdetection and recovery at both feeder and distribution level

51 Initiation It is assumed that the proposed system is undernormalmode of operationOLTwill start and check the statusof FFp before transmitting any traffic OLT MAC layer willuse discovery gate (DG) packets [13] to check the status ofFFp If OLT receive acknowledgment (ACK) messages fromall or someONUmodules for the correspondingDGpacketsit will start its transmission using FFp However if no ACKmessages are received OLT will flip the switch towards FFsand check its status before transmission OLT will use thesame mechanism by sending DG packets to the connectedONUs for the status of FFs On the reception ofACKmessagesfrom ONUs OLT will start its operation via FFs In case ofnegative ACKs OLT will flip the switch towards its originalposition and wait for a specific time 119879s before starting theentire process again

Similarly ONUs will check for the connected DFs afterinitiating their normal operation They will also send a DGpacket towards OLT to check the working status of theircorresponding DF For positive ACK messages ONU willcontinue its normal operation through DF In case of noACKmessages ONUMAC layer will flip the switch positiontowards the redundant PF

While using the same mechanism ONU will check thestatus of the PF by sending DG packets towards OLT Forpositive ACKmessages ONU will resume its operation usingPF whereas in case of negative ACK messages ONU MAClayer will flip the switch towards its initial position and waitfor a specific time 119879s before starting the entire process again52 Feeder Fiber Failure To understand self-healing mech-anism of the proposed protection architecture it is assumedthat system is under normal mode of operation and all trafficfrom OLT is delivered through FFp During transmissionOLT will listen to the loss of signal (LOS) which representsthe absence of upstream signals from the connected ONUsIn case of no LOS OLT will continue its normal operationthrough FFp with OSsa at port 1

If failure or cut occurs at point 10158401198911015840 in FFp as shownin Figure 9 OLT will stop to receive any upstream trafficfrom the access domain At the same time OLT will notbe able to transmit any downstream traffic to the con-nected ONUs since FFp is the only transmission mediumbetween OLT and ONUs This will trigger the LOS flag atOLT

Consequently OLT MAC layer will initiate its recoverymechanism and send DG packets towards ONU modulesDG packets will determine the status of FFp concerning ACK

messages from ONUs that is if OLT receives ACK from allor some ONUs for the corresponding DG packets it willcontinue its normal operation However if no ACKmessagesare received OLT will retransmit the DG packets to confirmthe fault at the connected FFp After several attempts if noACKmessages are received from the access arena OLTMAClayerwill confirm that FFp is faulty and flip the switch towardsport 2 MAC layer will check the status of FFs through DGpackets Section 51 before transmitting information Forpositive ACK messages MAC layer will direct the OLT tostart transmission through the newly switched FFs as shownin Figure 9

OLT will continue its normal operation while using FFsand listen to the LOS until FFp is repaired It must be notedthat fault at FF will also disconnect the ONUs in accessdomain Consequently they will also initiate their recoverymechanism to resolve the flow of affected traffic whichwill lead to unnecessary switching at ONUs Therefore itis imperative to increase resolution time and mechanism offault detection in ONU modules as compared to OLT Thiswill avoid the unnecessary switching atONUs before the issueis resolved at the affected OLT

53 Distribution Fiber Failure Effect of failure at theDF is notas severe as that of the FF since the flow of traffic is disruptedto a single ONU Nevertheless this needs to be addressedin order to provide high subscriber satisfaction and reduceservice interruption penalty costs [11] in case of businesssubscribers at the access domain To explain the self-healing

mechanism at distribution level of the network ONU2 isconsidered which is under normal mode of operation OS2is at position 1 and all traffic is sent and received throughthe corresponding DF During transmission ONU2 will alsolisten to LOS which represents the absence of downstreamsignals from connected OLT In case of no LOS ONU2 willcontinue its normal operation through its corresponding DFwith OS2 at port 1 In case of failure at point 10158401198881015840 in the DFONU2 will not receive any downstream traffic from OLTSimilarly OLT will not receive any upstream traffic fromONU2 This will trigger LOS flag at ONU2

Thus ONU2 will initiate its recovery mechanism andMAC layer will send DG packet towards OLT in order toconfirm the status of connected DF On the reception ofACK messages from OLT ONU2 will continue its normaloperation with OS2 at position 1 If no ACK message isreceived from OLT ONU2 will perform several attempts toconfirm the status of connected DF The number of DGpackets sent by ONU2 must be twice as that of the ones sentby OLT in order to avoid any unnecessary switching

For repeated negative ACKs ONU2 will confirm thestatus of failure and flips the switch towards port 2 Con-sequently the flow of traffic will shift from DF to the DRbetween ONU2 and ONU3 as shown in Figure 10 Now alltraffic from ONU2 will be sent and received by the DF ofONU3 through the intermediate PF

It must be noted that each affected ONU can restore theflow traffic by reconnecting with OLT through its neighbor-ing ONUs in case of failure at the DF Based on the sameprinciple if failure or cut occurs at several DFs the affectedONUs can share the DFs with working ONUs to reconnectwith OLT

54 Restoration Time The time required for fault detec-tion and restoration can be determined by referring to theautodiscovery process in IEEE 8023ah [20] Let119879dg representthe time required by OLT to trigger LOS flag and send aDG packet towards the ONU modules Fault discovery isstarted after OLT sends the DG packets and takes 2119879cycle tocomplete the registration process from a single ONU In caseof negative acknowledgment OLT will retransmit the DG

ONU MAC layer adapts the same DG packets forfault detection at the distribution level Therefore the timerequired for fault detection and restoration at ONUmodulescan be determined through same methodology However itis necessary to increase the number of DG packets at ONUmodules in order to avoid unnecessary switching for the eventof failure at FFp Therefore the time required by ONUMAClayer for fault detection and switching operation is to be givenby 119879dg + 2119879cycle + 2119879cycle + 2119879cycle + 2119879cycle + 119879119904witching55 Power Budget and Network Capacity Power budgetrepresents the sum of losses at each component between OLTand ONUs The purpose of power budgeting in PONs is toensure the efficient delivery of transmitted data with nominalpower ratings since low power at the PIN photodiode cangenerate substantial amount of short and thermal noiseMoreover it also determines the OCP splitting ratio atRN which translates the number of subscribers in PONTherefore it is necessary to analyze power budget of theproposed system in order to ensure high capacity

For efficient recovery of transmitted information it isimperative that power received at the PIN photodiode mustbe greater than its 119877sen Table 3 shows the insertion losses atdownstream of the proposed tree-based protection architec-ture for SAC-OCDMA system [14]

If 119875CO represents the power drop across the central officewhich is the sum of insertion losses and gains of opticalcomponents at the CO as shown in Table 3 119875RN gives thepower loss across the FF and 2 119873OCP and 119875DN is the powerloss across the distribution network components then thedownstream power budget 119875DS can be calculated as

Table 4 shows the downstream power budget for theproposed tree-based hybrid protection architecture whileusing insertion losses fromTable 4 It is shown that utilizationof EDFA at CO can elevate power of the encoded spec-trum Therefore it can be detected and efficiently recoveredat the receiving photodiode Moreover without the useof EDFA at the transmitter module the value of 119875sr =minus10 dBm This value is significantly lower than requiredfor an error-free recovery Therefore a gain of 10 dB andabove is required for error-free transmission between OLTand ONU receiver module Same analogy applies on theupstream traffic which uses identical encoding and decodingarchitecture at ONU transmitter and OLT receiver modulerespectively

Furthermore downstream power budget in Table 4is determined with 2 64 OCP between OLT and ONUsIt is evident that end-face of RN represents the numberof ONUs in the access domain Therefore the proposedsystem can easily support 64 subscribers with nominalpower ratings at the receiving photodiode Furthermoreincrease in EDFA gain within minus5simminus30 dB can provide sup-port for desired number of subscribers in the proposedarchitecture

6 Cost Analysis

Cost figures of protection architectures are an importantparameter showing the economic benefits for a common enduser at the access domain This section determines overallexpenditure of the proposed architecture in comparison withexisting ITU-T type C D and hybrid architectures whileusing component costs in Table 5 [11 24] Cost figuresfor PON can be categorized as CAPEX and OPEX [1425] CAPEX represents the investment that is required forthe installation and deployment of PON in access domainCAPEX is calculated by computing the cost of networkequipment and fiber infrastructure Moreover CAPEX persubscribers is determined by dividing the sum of networkequipment and fiber infrastructure costs over the number ofsubscribers

OPEX is related to the cost of network operation fromthe time of deployment till replacement by a new technologyOPEX mainly consists of failure reparation cost serviceinterruption penalties and power consumed by active com-ponents at OLT and ONUs Reparation cost depends on thenumber of failures during the network lifetimeMean lifetimeandMTTRof each component determine the total downtowntime per year which is multiplied by the number of tech-nicians required and their salaries in order to calculate theyearly failure reparation cost Service interruption penaltiesinclude the expenditure that is spent on the fine defined inservice level agreement (SLA) between network operatorsand subscribers If the service interruption time is higherthan a threshold mentioned in SLA the operator has to pay afee depending on the interval that the service is unavailablePower consumption for OPEX is calculated by multiplyingthe sum of energy consumption of all active componentsduring the network lifetime with the unit price of electricalenergy [11 12 25 26]

Analysis is performed for residential customers only andlife span of the system is taken as 20 years Furthermore

(i) each OLT contains 4 ports with 16 subscribers perport

(ii) each architecture contains 20 km FF 5 km DF and1 km protection fiber between adjacent ONUs

(iii) cost of TDM and OCDMA based OLT and ONUs istaken to be the same

(iv) due to high variation in fiber digging cost it isassumed that fiber is laid in existing trenches at bothfeeder and distribution level

(v) no penalty cost is considered as only residentialcustomers are considered

(vi) repairing cost is 1000 $h(vii) per hour cost of electricity is taken to be 025 $kWh

If 119872 represents the number of PONs and 119873 is the totalnumber of subscribers then CAPEX equations (base onRBDs) for the considered protection architectures can bewritten as

119862[119862] = (119872 timesOLT timesOLT) + (20 times FF times FF)+ (119872 times 2 times 2 119873 OCP)+ (5 times 119873 times DF times DF)+ (119873 timesONU timesONU)

119862[119863] = (119872 timesOLT timesOLT) + (20 times FF times FF)+ (119872 timesOCP timesOCP)+ (119872 times 2 times 2 119873 OCP)+ (5 times 119873 times DF times DF)+ (119873 timesONU timesONU)

119862[119867] = (119872 timesOLT timesOLT) + (20 times FR)+ (119872 timesOCP) + (119872 times 2 119873 OCP)+ (5 times 119873 times DF) + (119873 timesONU)

119862[PT] = (119872 timesOLT) +OS + EDFA + (20 times FF times FF)+ (119872 times 2 119873 OCP) + (5 times 119873 times DF)+ (119873 times DR) + (119873 timesOCP) + (119873 timesOS)+ (119873 timesONU)

Figure 11(a) shows the deployment cost of different pro-tection architectures It is observed that the proposed archi-tecture requires minimum CAPEX in comparison with typesC D and hybrid schemes It is evident from the fact that typesC and D duplicate the entire PON which requires significant

amount of CAPEX for deployment Furthermore duplicationof OLT in hybrid architecture increases the overall cost ofdeployment as OLT is the most expensive active componentin PON shown in Table 5 Deployment cost of the proposedtree-based protection architecture is relatively low since itavoids duplication of OLT at the COMoreover efficient star-ring redundancy at the distribution level further reduces thecost of deployment by avoiding extensive fiber duplicationAs this architecture utilizes minimum components in systemconstruction therefore energy consumption in Figure 11 isalso significantly low

Figure 11(b) shows expenditure spent on the operation ofPONs after deployment It is observed that hybrid schemerequires the highest OPEX since no protection is provided atthe distribution level This significantly elevates the networkdowntime per year andmore resources are spent on detectingand recovering faults Figure 11(b) shows that the proposedarchitecture along with types C and D requires minimumreparation cost owing to desirable connection availabilityand minimal downtime per year Moreover no duplicationat OLT and ONU significantly reduces energy consumptionof the proposed architecture as compared to types C D andhybrid networks

Consequently the proposed tree-based hybrid SAC-OCDMA system requires minimum cost of deployment andoperation as shown in Figure 12 due to

(i) efficient star-ring topology that reduces the amountof DF and hence the cost required for deployment

(ii) no redundant OLT and ONU which reduce thedeployment cost and energy consumption over thenetwork life time

(iii) fault detection and restoration at both feeder andthe distribution level which significantly reduce the

3 Proposed SAC-OCDMA System

The proposed tree-based hybrid SAC-OCDMA system con-sists of the following components

31 Central Office Central office is located at the serviceprovider premises and houses multiple OLT ports whichgenerates required services towards the PON distributionnetwork OLT consists of the following

311 Optical Source Optical source is crucial in designingan efficient and reliable SAC-OCDMA system because of itssignificant effect on the cost and performance of PON [3 16]OCDMA systems can be classified into two types accordingto the choice of optical sources coherent and in-coherentOCDMA Prior system requires highly coherent ultra-shortlight pulses (MLL supercontinuum laser etc) in order tomaintain nominal BER in high capacity systems Such sourcesare difficult to tune and involve precise laser positioning to

assure efficient performance This significantly increases thecost and complexity of the OCDMA system

Moreover localized power distribution in coherent opti-cal sources requires complex equipment to translate binary01015840119904 and 11015840119904 into spectral representation Most of the encodersrequire complex tuning and fast electronic circuits thatfurther elevates the cost and complexity of implementationfor coherent SAC-OCDMA systems at the last-mile sectionof the network [17]

Broadband sources (BBSs) with relatively same powerdistribution throughout their bandwidth facilitate therequired encoding at the expense of simple setup MoreoverBBSs like light emitting diodes (LEDs) have shown efficientperformance with simple in-coherent decoding techniquesincluding balanced and direct detection [16] FurthermoreSAC-OCDMA systems are targeted to support economicalaccess networks therefore optical source with low costsimple drive circuits flexibility of encoding immunityto beat noise and stable performance are suitable forimplementation of the proposed tree-based hybrid SAC-OCDMA system for PON

Thus OLT for the proposed system contains an array ofLEDs which are tuned at different wavelengths to supportdesirable number of subscribers Output from the LED isfed into 1 3 optical coupler (OCP) in order to provide therequired spectrum for code chips at input of the encoder asshown in Figure 2

312 Encoder Design of a suitable encoder is observedas of critical concern for the implementation of SAC-OCDMA system in terms of functioning and ability toperform the required encoding Various devices have beenproposed for encoding operation in SAC-OCDMA systemhowever the use of suitable device is still an open issue[3 4 18 19]

Figure 3 Spectral representation of encoded [0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0] bits in EMD code

This paper utilizes optical multiplexer (MUX) for trans-lating the proposed binary sequence into spectral repre-sentation at OLT [7 8] Each input of the optical MUXcontains a bandpass filter which is tuned to select the desiredspectrum in accordance with EMD chips Figure 3 representsthe implementation of EMD code [0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0]through a 3 1 MUX with 04 nm bandpass Bessel filters atthe input It is observed that the proposed arrangement canefficiently perform the required binary to optical conversionwith maximum precision and simple architecture

End-face of the optical encoder is connected with Mach-Zehnder Modulator (MZM) which combines optical signalwith data from individual subscriber Output of the modulat-ing arrangement is applied to N 1 OCP with 119873 input and 1output port as shown in Figure 2 OCP is further connectedwith a three-port optical circulator (OCco) that is fed intoswitching arrangement (SA) through an erbium doped fiberamplifier (EDFA)

313 Switching Arrangement Switching arrangement (SAco)consists of a 1 2 optical switch (OSsa) that connects OLTwith both primary and secondary feeder fibers (FFp FFs) asshown in Figure 2 OSsa is used to perform the necessaryswitching between FFp and FFs when a cutfailure occurs atthe feeder fiber Under normal mode of operation OSsa is atposition 1 and all traffic is supplied through FFp Positionof the proposed OSsa is controlled by OLT medium accesscontrol (MAC) layer which is responsible for fault detectionand restoration at the feeder level Consequently no extraarrangement is required for changing OSsa positions forseamless transmission between OLT and ONUmodules

32 Remote Nodes The proposed tree-based hybrid SAC-OCDMA system utilizes a single remote node to facilitatecommunication between CO and subscriber premises RNhouses a 2 119873 OCP that connects each ONU with both FFpand FFs at the input and short span dedicated DFs at theend-face as shown in Figure 2 RN facilitates ubiquitoustransmission of down- and upstream traffic by simultane-ously connecting each ONU with both FFp FFs fibers Thisallows the proposed system to immediately restore the flowof affected traffic in case of failure across the network

33 Optical Network Unit Optical network unit ONU119898119898 = 1 2 3 119872 consists of a 1 2 OCP with 3 ports

as shown in Figure 2 Ports 1 and 2 are connected todedicated DF119898 and a 2 1 optical switch OSonu119898 respec-tively Port 3 extends the ring based protection fiber (PFr)towards its neighboring ONUs Ring based redundancyarrangement provides the required preplanned protectionwithout duplicating entire fiber at the distribution networkMoreover use of star-ring topology eliminates the significantpower loss that is encountered in single-ring based PON[13 20ndash22]

OSonu119898 is at position 1 under normal mode of operationand all traffic is being sent and received though dedicatedDFsWhile in case of failure at theDF optical switch ismovedtowards position 2 which connects the effected ONU withredundant PFr Fault detection and switching operation atdistribution level are controlled through ONU119898 MAC layerin order to avoid extra arrangement for network survivabilityat ONU modules

331 Spectral Direct Detection Technique SDD techniqueis readily employed for coding schemes with ideal cross-correlation properties owing to its significant advantages likesimple implementation minimum expenditure and removalof MAI and associated PIIN at the receiving photodiodeThe principle of SDD technique is based on the recoveryof nonoverlapping spectral chip only rendering maximumautocorrelationwith the intended signal andminimumcross-correlation with interfererrsquos [7 23]

This technique is implemented through a simple band-pass filter which is centered to recover the nonoverlappingspectral chip only However it is necessary to send theentire coded spectrum in order to maintain integrity ofthe full address along with efficient power at the receivingphotodiode Figure 4 shows the implementation of SDDtechnique at the receiving ONU in the proposed setupDecoding arrangement consists of a single bandpass filterwhich is centered to recover 119863119899 chip only This operation

4 Performance Analysis

Conversion of the received optical signal into electricaldomain is accompanied with shot PIIN and thermal noisesgenerated at the PIN photodiode Presence of these noisesources significantly reduces quality of the received sig-nal which elevates BER at the receiving end Thereforeit is imperative to determine performance of the pro-posed tree-based hybrid SAC-OCDMA system in the pres-ence of shot PIIN and thermal noises at the receivingphotodiode

41 Analytic Analysis Performance of the proposed tree-based hybrid SAC-OCDMA system is analyzed with refer-ence to signal to noise ratio (SNR) and BER of EMD code atthe encoder and SDDat the decoder Gaussian approximationis used to evaluate the performance while considering noisepowers at the receiving end [4] If 119868 represents the incidentcurrent 1198682 represents the power spectral density (PSD) and1205902 gives noise variance at the receiving photodiodeThen thetotal SNR is given by [8 15]

SNR = [ 11986821205902] (7)

where 1205902 is the sum of shot ⟨1198942shot⟩ PIIN ⟨1198942PIIN⟩ and thermal⟨1198942thermal⟩ noise powers which can also be written as

1205902 = 2119890119861119868 + 1198682119861120591119888 + 4119870119887119879119899119861119877119871 (8)

Table 1 shows the specifications and description of 1205902parameters in (8) Moreover the coherent time 120591119888 of intensitynoise terms in the photodiode output is given by

119866(120592) in (9) shows the PSD at the receiving photodiodeIn order to analyze performance of the proposed tree-based hybrid SAC-OCDMA system while using Gaussianapproximation it is assumed that each optical source isideally polarized with smooth spectrum throughout its band-width Moreover PIN photodiodes receive identical spectralwidth and power (119875sr) from each optical source [4 7 8]

If 119861119896(119894) denotes the 119894th element of 119870th EMD codethen the correlation properties at SDD based decoder if therequired information is recoverable from 119863119899 chip only aregiven by

intinfin0

119866 (120592) 119889120592 = 119875sr119908119873 (14)

Now the total incident current from (14) can be written as

119868 = R119875sr119908119873 (15)

R represents responsitivity of the receiving photodiodegiven by R = 120578119890ℎ120592119888 Table 1 shows the description andspecification of R parameters Thus total shot noise powerdue to a single LED after using (15) and (8) becomes

⟨1198942shot⟩ = 2119890119861R119875sr119908119873 (16)

It is assumed that the required information is recoverablefrom the nonoverlapping 119863119899 chip only which is directlydetected by the receiving photodiode as in normal intensitymodulationThus PIINnoise power is set equal to zero due tothe large difference between the auto- and cross-correlationproperty amongst the intended subscriber and interfererrsquos[4 7 23]

Consequently the total SNR based on (7) (8) and (16)when the probability of each user transmitting bit 1 at anyinstant is 12 can be written as

SNR = [R119875sr119908119873]2119890119861R119875sr119908119873 + 4119870119887119879119899119861119877119871 (17)

The estimated BER while using Gaussian approximationfor the proposed tree-based hybrid SAC-OCDMA systemcan be calculated as BER = (12)erfcradicSNR8 Figure 5shows transmission capacity of the proposed system byvarying number of subscribers at performance parameters inTable 1 It is shown that the proposed systemprovides efficientperformance in terms of SNR and BER as we increase thenumber of subscribers Fixed cross-correlation property ofEMD code reduces interference from adjacent subscribers [815] Moreover SDD technique receives the nonoverlappingspectral chip only which results in maximum differencebetween auto- and cross-correlation functions at the receiv-ing photodiode [4 7] Therefore SNR and related BER areoptimized since bothMAI and associated PIIN are eliminatedbefore the signal is converted to electrical domain

Figure 7 Performance analysis of the proposed tree-based hybridSAC-OCDMA system

42 SimulationAnalysis OptiSystem is used to analyze trans-mission capacity of the proposed tree-based hybrid SAC-OCDMA system in comparison with analytic model Anal-ysis is performed for 64 subscribers at back-to-back (B2B)and 25 km single mode fiber (SMF) fiber while using systemparameters shown in Table 2 Moreover EDFA gain andcomponent losses are adjusted tomaintainminus10 dBmpower atthe receiving photodiodes BER and eye pattern are observedat different data rates for performance analysis

Figure 7 shows transmission capacity of the proposedarchitecture in comparison with analytic and B2B results Itis observed that simulation and analytic analysis shows prox-imity with regard to BER for multiple subscribers simultane-ously accessing themediumwhich validates the performanceanalysis Moreover it is observed that BER increases for B2Bfollowed by fiber based simulation analysis It is evident fromthe fact that fiber introduces dispersion and attenuation to theencoded spectrum which further deteriorates performanceof the system However it is not significant enough to disruptthe normal operation Figure 7 also shows that the use of extracomponents like switches OCPs and so forth for protectionhas minuscule (almost negligible) effect on performance ofthe proposed SAC-OCDMA system

Figure 8 shows eye patterns from the simulation analysisat data rates of 1 15 and 2Gbps It is observed that eye

opening decreases as the amount of data increases howeverthe proposed system is able to provide efficient performanceby maintaining nominal eye openings at data rates of up to2Gbps

5 Survivability Analysis

This section outlines the fault detection and restorationcapacity of the proposed setup in terms of system initiationdetection and recovery at both feeder and distribution level

51 Initiation It is assumed that the proposed system is undernormalmode of operationOLTwill start and check the statusof FFp before transmitting any traffic OLT MAC layer willuse discovery gate (DG) packets [13] to check the status ofFFp If OLT receive acknowledgment (ACK) messages fromall or someONUmodules for the correspondingDGpacketsit will start its transmission using FFp However if no ACKmessages are received OLT will flip the switch towards FFsand check its status before transmission OLT will use thesame mechanism by sending DG packets to the connectedONUs for the status of FFs On the reception ofACKmessagesfrom ONUs OLT will start its operation via FFs In case ofnegative ACKs OLT will flip the switch towards its originalposition and wait for a specific time 119879s before starting theentire process again

Similarly ONUs will check for the connected DFs afterinitiating their normal operation They will also send a DGpacket towards OLT to check the working status of theircorresponding DF For positive ACK messages ONU willcontinue its normal operation through DF In case of noACKmessages ONUMAC layer will flip the switch positiontowards the redundant PF

While using the same mechanism ONU will check thestatus of the PF by sending DG packets towards OLT Forpositive ACKmessages ONU will resume its operation usingPF whereas in case of negative ACK messages ONU MAClayer will flip the switch towards its initial position and waitfor a specific time 119879s before starting the entire process again52 Feeder Fiber Failure To understand self-healing mech-anism of the proposed protection architecture it is assumedthat system is under normal mode of operation and all trafficfrom OLT is delivered through FFp During transmissionOLT will listen to the loss of signal (LOS) which representsthe absence of upstream signals from the connected ONUsIn case of no LOS OLT will continue its normal operationthrough FFp with OSsa at port 1

If failure or cut occurs at point 10158401198911015840 in FFp as shownin Figure 9 OLT will stop to receive any upstream trafficfrom the access domain At the same time OLT will notbe able to transmit any downstream traffic to the con-nected ONUs since FFp is the only transmission mediumbetween OLT and ONUs This will trigger the LOS flag atOLT

Consequently OLT MAC layer will initiate its recoverymechanism and send DG packets towards ONU modulesDG packets will determine the status of FFp concerning ACK

messages from ONUs that is if OLT receives ACK from allor some ONUs for the corresponding DG packets it willcontinue its normal operation However if no ACKmessagesare received OLT will retransmit the DG packets to confirmthe fault at the connected FFp After several attempts if noACKmessages are received from the access arena OLTMAClayerwill confirm that FFp is faulty and flip the switch towardsport 2 MAC layer will check the status of FFs through DGpackets Section 51 before transmitting information Forpositive ACK messages MAC layer will direct the OLT tostart transmission through the newly switched FFs as shownin Figure 9

OLT will continue its normal operation while using FFsand listen to the LOS until FFp is repaired It must be notedthat fault at FF will also disconnect the ONUs in accessdomain Consequently they will also initiate their recoverymechanism to resolve the flow of affected traffic whichwill lead to unnecessary switching at ONUs Therefore itis imperative to increase resolution time and mechanism offault detection in ONU modules as compared to OLT Thiswill avoid the unnecessary switching atONUs before the issueis resolved at the affected OLT

53 Distribution Fiber Failure Effect of failure at theDF is notas severe as that of the FF since the flow of traffic is disruptedto a single ONU Nevertheless this needs to be addressedin order to provide high subscriber satisfaction and reduceservice interruption penalty costs [11] in case of businesssubscribers at the access domain To explain the self-healing

mechanism at distribution level of the network ONU2 isconsidered which is under normal mode of operation OS2is at position 1 and all traffic is sent and received throughthe corresponding DF During transmission ONU2 will alsolisten to LOS which represents the absence of downstreamsignals from connected OLT In case of no LOS ONU2 willcontinue its normal operation through its corresponding DFwith OS2 at port 1 In case of failure at point 10158401198881015840 in the DFONU2 will not receive any downstream traffic from OLTSimilarly OLT will not receive any upstream traffic fromONU2 This will trigger LOS flag at ONU2

Thus ONU2 will initiate its recovery mechanism andMAC layer will send DG packet towards OLT in order toconfirm the status of connected DF On the reception ofACK messages from OLT ONU2 will continue its normaloperation with OS2 at position 1 If no ACK message isreceived from OLT ONU2 will perform several attempts toconfirm the status of connected DF The number of DGpackets sent by ONU2 must be twice as that of the ones sentby OLT in order to avoid any unnecessary switching

For repeated negative ACKs ONU2 will confirm thestatus of failure and flips the switch towards port 2 Con-sequently the flow of traffic will shift from DF to the DRbetween ONU2 and ONU3 as shown in Figure 10 Now alltraffic from ONU2 will be sent and received by the DF ofONU3 through the intermediate PF

It must be noted that each affected ONU can restore theflow traffic by reconnecting with OLT through its neighbor-ing ONUs in case of failure at the DF Based on the sameprinciple if failure or cut occurs at several DFs the affectedONUs can share the DFs with working ONUs to reconnectwith OLT

54 Restoration Time The time required for fault detec-tion and restoration can be determined by referring to theautodiscovery process in IEEE 8023ah [20] Let119879dg representthe time required by OLT to trigger LOS flag and send aDG packet towards the ONU modules Fault discovery isstarted after OLT sends the DG packets and takes 2119879cycle tocomplete the registration process from a single ONU In caseof negative acknowledgment OLT will retransmit the DG

ONU MAC layer adapts the same DG packets forfault detection at the distribution level Therefore the timerequired for fault detection and restoration at ONUmodulescan be determined through same methodology However itis necessary to increase the number of DG packets at ONUmodules in order to avoid unnecessary switching for the eventof failure at FFp Therefore the time required by ONUMAClayer for fault detection and switching operation is to be givenby 119879dg + 2119879cycle + 2119879cycle + 2119879cycle + 2119879cycle + 119879119904witching55 Power Budget and Network Capacity Power budgetrepresents the sum of losses at each component between OLTand ONUs The purpose of power budgeting in PONs is toensure the efficient delivery of transmitted data with nominalpower ratings since low power at the PIN photodiode cangenerate substantial amount of short and thermal noiseMoreover it also determines the OCP splitting ratio atRN which translates the number of subscribers in PONTherefore it is necessary to analyze power budget of theproposed system in order to ensure high capacity

For efficient recovery of transmitted information it isimperative that power received at the PIN photodiode mustbe greater than its 119877sen Table 3 shows the insertion losses atdownstream of the proposed tree-based protection architec-ture for SAC-OCDMA system [14]

If 119875CO represents the power drop across the central officewhich is the sum of insertion losses and gains of opticalcomponents at the CO as shown in Table 3 119875RN gives thepower loss across the FF and 2 119873OCP and 119875DN is the powerloss across the distribution network components then thedownstream power budget 119875DS can be calculated as

Table 4 shows the downstream power budget for theproposed tree-based hybrid protection architecture whileusing insertion losses fromTable 4 It is shown that utilizationof EDFA at CO can elevate power of the encoded spec-trum Therefore it can be detected and efficiently recoveredat the receiving photodiode Moreover without the useof EDFA at the transmitter module the value of 119875sr =minus10 dBm This value is significantly lower than requiredfor an error-free recovery Therefore a gain of 10 dB andabove is required for error-free transmission between OLTand ONU receiver module Same analogy applies on theupstream traffic which uses identical encoding and decodingarchitecture at ONU transmitter and OLT receiver modulerespectively

Furthermore downstream power budget in Table 4is determined with 2 64 OCP between OLT and ONUsIt is evident that end-face of RN represents the numberof ONUs in the access domain Therefore the proposedsystem can easily support 64 subscribers with nominalpower ratings at the receiving photodiode Furthermoreincrease in EDFA gain within minus5simminus30 dB can provide sup-port for desired number of subscribers in the proposedarchitecture

Cost figures of protection architectures are an importantparameter showing the economic benefits for a common enduser at the access domain This section determines overallexpenditure of the proposed architecture in comparison withexisting ITU-T type C D and hybrid architectures whileusing component costs in Table 5 [11 24] Cost figuresfor PON can be categorized as CAPEX and OPEX [1425] CAPEX represents the investment that is required forthe installation and deployment of PON in access domainCAPEX is calculated by computing the cost of networkequipment and fiber infrastructure Moreover CAPEX persubscribers is determined by dividing the sum of networkequipment and fiber infrastructure costs over the number ofsubscribers

OPEX is related to the cost of network operation fromthe time of deployment till replacement by a new technologyOPEX mainly consists of failure reparation cost serviceinterruption penalties and power consumed by active com-ponents at OLT and ONUs Reparation cost depends on thenumber of failures during the network lifetimeMean lifetimeandMTTRof each component determine the total downtowntime per year which is multiplied by the number of tech-nicians required and their salaries in order to calculate theyearly failure reparation cost Service interruption penaltiesinclude the expenditure that is spent on the fine defined inservice level agreement (SLA) between network operatorsand subscribers If the service interruption time is higherthan a threshold mentioned in SLA the operator has to pay afee depending on the interval that the service is unavailablePower consumption for OPEX is calculated by multiplyingthe sum of energy consumption of all active componentsduring the network lifetime with the unit price of electricalenergy [11 12 25 26]

Analysis is performed for residential customers only andlife span of the system is taken as 20 years Furthermore

(i) each OLT contains 4 ports with 16 subscribers perport

(ii) each architecture contains 20 km FF 5 km DF and1 km protection fiber between adjacent ONUs

(iii) cost of TDM and OCDMA based OLT and ONUs istaken to be the same

(iv) due to high variation in fiber digging cost it isassumed that fiber is laid in existing trenches at bothfeeder and distribution level

(v) no penalty cost is considered as only residentialcustomers are considered

(vi) repairing cost is 1000 $h(vii) per hour cost of electricity is taken to be 025 $kWh

If 119872 represents the number of PONs and 119873 is the totalnumber of subscribers then CAPEX equations (base onRBDs) for the considered protection architectures can bewritten as

119862[119862] = (119872 timesOLT timesOLT) + (20 times FF times FF)+ (119872 times 2 times 2 119873 OCP)+ (5 times 119873 times DF times DF)+ (119873 timesONU timesONU)

119862[119863] = (119872 timesOLT timesOLT) + (20 times FF times FF)+ (119872 timesOCP timesOCP)+ (119872 times 2 times 2 119873 OCP)+ (5 times 119873 times DF times DF)+ (119873 timesONU timesONU)

119862[119867] = (119872 timesOLT timesOLT) + (20 times FR)+ (119872 timesOCP) + (119872 times 2 119873 OCP)+ (5 times 119873 times DF) + (119873 timesONU)

Figure 11(a) shows the deployment cost of different pro-tection architectures It is observed that the proposed archi-tecture requires minimum CAPEX in comparison with typesC D and hybrid schemes It is evident from the fact that typesC and D duplicate the entire PON which requires significant

Figure 11(b) shows expenditure spent on the operation ofPONs after deployment It is observed that hybrid schemerequires the highest OPEX since no protection is provided atthe distribution level This significantly elevates the networkdowntime per year andmore resources are spent on detectingand recovering faults Figure 11(b) shows that the proposedarchitecture along with types C and D requires minimumreparation cost owing to desirable connection availabilityand minimal downtime per year Moreover no duplicationat OLT and ONU significantly reduces energy consumptionof the proposed architecture as compared to types C D andhybrid networks

Consequently the proposed tree-based hybrid SAC-OCDMA system requires minimum cost of deployment andoperation as shown in Figure 12 due to

(i) efficient star-ring topology that reduces the amountof DF and hence the cost required for deployment

(ii) no redundant OLT and ONU which reduce thedeployment cost and energy consumption over thenetwork life time

(iii) fault detection and restoration at both feeder andthe distribution level which significantly reduce the

Figure 3 Spectral representation of encoded [0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0] bits in EMD code

This paper utilizes optical multiplexer (MUX) for trans-lating the proposed binary sequence into spectral repre-sentation at OLT [7 8] Each input of the optical MUXcontains a bandpass filter which is tuned to select the desiredspectrum in accordance with EMD chips Figure 3 representsthe implementation of EMD code [0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0]through a 3 1 MUX with 04 nm bandpass Bessel filters atthe input It is observed that the proposed arrangement canefficiently perform the required binary to optical conversionwith maximum precision and simple architecture

End-face of the optical encoder is connected with Mach-Zehnder Modulator (MZM) which combines optical signalwith data from individual subscriber Output of the modulat-ing arrangement is applied to N 1 OCP with 119873 input and 1output port as shown in Figure 2 OCP is further connectedwith a three-port optical circulator (OCco) that is fed intoswitching arrangement (SA) through an erbium doped fiberamplifier (EDFA)

313 Switching Arrangement Switching arrangement (SAco)consists of a 1 2 optical switch (OSsa) that connects OLTwith both primary and secondary feeder fibers (FFp FFs) asshown in Figure 2 OSsa is used to perform the necessaryswitching between FFp and FFs when a cutfailure occurs atthe feeder fiber Under normal mode of operation OSsa is atposition 1 and all traffic is supplied through FFp Positionof the proposed OSsa is controlled by OLT medium accesscontrol (MAC) layer which is responsible for fault detectionand restoration at the feeder level Consequently no extraarrangement is required for changing OSsa positions forseamless transmission between OLT and ONUmodules

32 Remote Nodes The proposed tree-based hybrid SAC-OCDMA system utilizes a single remote node to facilitatecommunication between CO and subscriber premises RNhouses a 2 119873 OCP that connects each ONU with both FFpand FFs at the input and short span dedicated DFs at theend-face as shown in Figure 2 RN facilitates ubiquitoustransmission of down- and upstream traffic by simultane-ously connecting each ONU with both FFp FFs fibers Thisallows the proposed system to immediately restore the flowof affected traffic in case of failure across the network

33 Optical Network Unit Optical network unit ONU119898119898 = 1 2 3 119872 consists of a 1 2 OCP with 3 ports

as shown in Figure 2 Ports 1 and 2 are connected todedicated DF119898 and a 2 1 optical switch OSonu119898 respec-tively Port 3 extends the ring based protection fiber (PFr)towards its neighboring ONUs Ring based redundancyarrangement provides the required preplanned protectionwithout duplicating entire fiber at the distribution networkMoreover use of star-ring topology eliminates the significantpower loss that is encountered in single-ring based PON[13 20ndash22]

OSonu119898 is at position 1 under normal mode of operationand all traffic is being sent and received though dedicatedDFsWhile in case of failure at theDF optical switch ismovedtowards position 2 which connects the effected ONU withredundant PFr Fault detection and switching operation atdistribution level are controlled through ONU119898 MAC layerin order to avoid extra arrangement for network survivabilityat ONU modules

End-face of OSonu119898 is fed into a three-port opticalcirculator (OConu) which is further connected with ONU119898receivingmodule as shown in Figure 2ONU receivermoduleconsists of a bandpass filter (for SDD technique) whichrecovers the nonoverlapping spectral chip 119863119899 only Outputof decoding arrangement is connected with PIN photodiodewhich is fed into Bessel low pass filter (LPF) followed bydecision-making (DM) circuit

331 Spectral Direct Detection Technique SDD techniqueis readily employed for coding schemes with ideal cross-correlation properties owing to its significant advantages likesimple implementation minimum expenditure and removalof MAI and associated PIIN at the receiving photodiodeThe principle of SDD technique is based on the recoveryof nonoverlapping spectral chip only rendering maximumautocorrelationwith the intended signal andminimumcross-correlation with interfererrsquos [7 23]

This technique is implemented through a simple band-pass filter which is centered to recover the nonoverlappingspectral chip only However it is necessary to send theentire coded spectrum in order to maintain integrity ofthe full address along with efficient power at the receivingphotodiode Figure 4 shows the implementation of SDDtechnique at the receiving ONU in the proposed setupDecoding arrangement consists of a single bandpass filterwhich is centered to recover 119863119899 chip only This operation

4 Performance Analysis

Conversion of the received optical signal into electricaldomain is accompanied with shot PIIN and thermal noisesgenerated at the PIN photodiode Presence of these noisesources significantly reduces quality of the received sig-nal which elevates BER at the receiving end Thereforeit is imperative to determine performance of the pro-posed tree-based hybrid SAC-OCDMA system in the pres-ence of shot PIIN and thermal noises at the receivingphotodiode

41 Analytic Analysis Performance of the proposed tree-based hybrid SAC-OCDMA system is analyzed with refer-ence to signal to noise ratio (SNR) and BER of EMD code atthe encoder and SDDat the decoder Gaussian approximationis used to evaluate the performance while considering noisepowers at the receiving end [4] If 119868 represents the incidentcurrent 1198682 represents the power spectral density (PSD) and1205902 gives noise variance at the receiving photodiodeThen thetotal SNR is given by [8 15]

SNR = [ 11986821205902] (7)

where 1205902 is the sum of shot ⟨1198942shot⟩ PIIN ⟨1198942PIIN⟩ and thermal⟨1198942thermal⟩ noise powers which can also be written as

1205902 = 2119890119861119868 + 1198682119861120591119888 + 4119870119887119879119899119861119877119871 (8)

Table 1 shows the specifications and description of 1205902parameters in (8) Moreover the coherent time 120591119888 of intensitynoise terms in the photodiode output is given by

120591119888 = intinfin119900119866 (120592)2 119889120592

[intinfin119900119866 (120592) 119889120592]2 (9)

119866(120592) in (9) shows the PSD at the receiving photodiodeIn order to analyze performance of the proposed tree-based hybrid SAC-OCDMA system while using Gaussianapproximation it is assumed that each optical source isideally polarized with smooth spectrum throughout its band-width Moreover PIN photodiodes receive identical spectralwidth and power (119875sr) from each optical source [4 7 8]

If 119861119896(119894) denotes the 119894th element of 119870th EMD codethen the correlation properties at SDD based decoder if therequired information is recoverable from 119863119899 chip only aregiven by

intinfin0

119866 (120592) 119889120592 = 119875sr119908119873 (14)

Now the total incident current from (14) can be written as

119868 = R119875sr119908119873 (15)

R represents responsitivity of the receiving photodiodegiven by R = 120578119890ℎ120592119888 Table 1 shows the description andspecification of R parameters Thus total shot noise powerdue to a single LED after using (15) and (8) becomes

⟨1198942shot⟩ = 2119890119861R119875sr119908119873 (16)

It is assumed that the required information is recoverablefrom the nonoverlapping 119863119899 chip only which is directlydetected by the receiving photodiode as in normal intensitymodulationThus PIINnoise power is set equal to zero due tothe large difference between the auto- and cross-correlationproperty amongst the intended subscriber and interfererrsquos[4 7 23]

Consequently the total SNR based on (7) (8) and (16)when the probability of each user transmitting bit 1 at anyinstant is 12 can be written as

SNR = [R119875sr119908119873]2119890119861R119875sr119908119873 + 4119870119887119879119899119861119877119871 (17)

The estimated BER while using Gaussian approximationfor the proposed tree-based hybrid SAC-OCDMA systemcan be calculated as BER = (12)erfcradicSNR8 Figure 5shows transmission capacity of the proposed system byvarying number of subscribers at performance parameters inTable 1 It is shown that the proposed systemprovides efficientperformance in terms of SNR and BER as we increase thenumber of subscribers Fixed cross-correlation property ofEMD code reduces interference from adjacent subscribers [815] Moreover SDD technique receives the nonoverlappingspectral chip only which results in maximum differencebetween auto- and cross-correlation functions at the receiv-ing photodiode [4 7] Therefore SNR and related BER areoptimized since bothMAI and associated PIIN are eliminatedbefore the signal is converted to electrical domain

Figure 7 Performance analysis of the proposed tree-based hybridSAC-OCDMA system

42 SimulationAnalysis OptiSystem is used to analyze trans-mission capacity of the proposed tree-based hybrid SAC-OCDMA system in comparison with analytic model Anal-ysis is performed for 64 subscribers at back-to-back (B2B)and 25 km single mode fiber (SMF) fiber while using systemparameters shown in Table 2 Moreover EDFA gain andcomponent losses are adjusted tomaintainminus10 dBmpower atthe receiving photodiodes BER and eye pattern are observedat different data rates for performance analysis

Figure 7 shows transmission capacity of the proposedarchitecture in comparison with analytic and B2B results Itis observed that simulation and analytic analysis shows prox-imity with regard to BER for multiple subscribers simultane-ously accessing themediumwhich validates the performanceanalysis Moreover it is observed that BER increases for B2Bfollowed by fiber based simulation analysis It is evident fromthe fact that fiber introduces dispersion and attenuation to theencoded spectrum which further deteriorates performanceof the system However it is not significant enough to disruptthe normal operation Figure 7 also shows that the use of extracomponents like switches OCPs and so forth for protectionhas minuscule (almost negligible) effect on performance ofthe proposed SAC-OCDMA system

Figure 8 shows eye patterns from the simulation analysisat data rates of 1 15 and 2Gbps It is observed that eye

opening decreases as the amount of data increases howeverthe proposed system is able to provide efficient performanceby maintaining nominal eye openings at data rates of up to2Gbps

5 Survivability Analysis

This section outlines the fault detection and restorationcapacity of the proposed setup in terms of system initiationdetection and recovery at both feeder and distribution level

51 Initiation It is assumed that the proposed system is undernormalmode of operationOLTwill start and check the statusof FFp before transmitting any traffic OLT MAC layer willuse discovery gate (DG) packets [13] to check the status ofFFp If OLT receive acknowledgment (ACK) messages fromall or someONUmodules for the correspondingDGpacketsit will start its transmission using FFp However if no ACKmessages are received OLT will flip the switch towards FFsand check its status before transmission OLT will use thesame mechanism by sending DG packets to the connectedONUs for the status of FFs On the reception ofACKmessagesfrom ONUs OLT will start its operation via FFs In case ofnegative ACKs OLT will flip the switch towards its originalposition and wait for a specific time 119879s before starting theentire process again

Similarly ONUs will check for the connected DFs afterinitiating their normal operation They will also send a DGpacket towards OLT to check the working status of theircorresponding DF For positive ACK messages ONU willcontinue its normal operation through DF In case of noACKmessages ONUMAC layer will flip the switch positiontowards the redundant PF

While using the same mechanism ONU will check thestatus of the PF by sending DG packets towards OLT Forpositive ACKmessages ONU will resume its operation usingPF whereas in case of negative ACK messages ONU MAClayer will flip the switch towards its initial position and waitfor a specific time 119879s before starting the entire process again52 Feeder Fiber Failure To understand self-healing mech-anism of the proposed protection architecture it is assumedthat system is under normal mode of operation and all trafficfrom OLT is delivered through FFp During transmissionOLT will listen to the loss of signal (LOS) which representsthe absence of upstream signals from the connected ONUsIn case of no LOS OLT will continue its normal operationthrough FFp with OSsa at port 1

If failure or cut occurs at point 10158401198911015840 in FFp as shownin Figure 9 OLT will stop to receive any upstream trafficfrom the access domain At the same time OLT will notbe able to transmit any downstream traffic to the con-nected ONUs since FFp is the only transmission mediumbetween OLT and ONUs This will trigger the LOS flag atOLT

Consequently OLT MAC layer will initiate its recoverymechanism and send DG packets towards ONU modulesDG packets will determine the status of FFp concerning ACK

OLT will continue its normal operation while using FFsand listen to the LOS until FFp is repaired It must be notedthat fault at FF will also disconnect the ONUs in accessdomain Consequently they will also initiate their recoverymechanism to resolve the flow of affected traffic whichwill lead to unnecessary switching at ONUs Therefore itis imperative to increase resolution time and mechanism offault detection in ONU modules as compared to OLT Thiswill avoid the unnecessary switching atONUs before the issueis resolved at the affected OLT

53 Distribution Fiber Failure Effect of failure at theDF is notas severe as that of the FF since the flow of traffic is disruptedto a single ONU Nevertheless this needs to be addressedin order to provide high subscriber satisfaction and reduceservice interruption penalty costs [11] in case of businesssubscribers at the access domain To explain the self-healing

mechanism at distribution level of the network ONU2 isconsidered which is under normal mode of operation OS2is at position 1 and all traffic is sent and received throughthe corresponding DF During transmission ONU2 will alsolisten to LOS which represents the absence of downstreamsignals from connected OLT In case of no LOS ONU2 willcontinue its normal operation through its corresponding DFwith OS2 at port 1 In case of failure at point 10158401198881015840 in the DFONU2 will not receive any downstream traffic from OLTSimilarly OLT will not receive any upstream traffic fromONU2 This will trigger LOS flag at ONU2

Thus ONU2 will initiate its recovery mechanism andMAC layer will send DG packet towards OLT in order toconfirm the status of connected DF On the reception ofACK messages from OLT ONU2 will continue its normaloperation with OS2 at position 1 If no ACK message isreceived from OLT ONU2 will perform several attempts toconfirm the status of connected DF The number of DGpackets sent by ONU2 must be twice as that of the ones sentby OLT in order to avoid any unnecessary switching

For repeated negative ACKs ONU2 will confirm thestatus of failure and flips the switch towards port 2 Con-sequently the flow of traffic will shift from DF to the DRbetween ONU2 and ONU3 as shown in Figure 10 Now alltraffic from ONU2 will be sent and received by the DF ofONU3 through the intermediate PF

It must be noted that each affected ONU can restore theflow traffic by reconnecting with OLT through its neighbor-ing ONUs in case of failure at the DF Based on the sameprinciple if failure or cut occurs at several DFs the affectedONUs can share the DFs with working ONUs to reconnectwith OLT

54 Restoration Time The time required for fault detec-tion and restoration can be determined by referring to theautodiscovery process in IEEE 8023ah [20] Let119879dg representthe time required by OLT to trigger LOS flag and send aDG packet towards the ONU modules Fault discovery isstarted after OLT sends the DG packets and takes 2119879cycle tocomplete the registration process from a single ONU In caseof negative acknowledgment OLT will retransmit the DG

ONU MAC layer adapts the same DG packets forfault detection at the distribution level Therefore the timerequired for fault detection and restoration at ONUmodulescan be determined through same methodology However itis necessary to increase the number of DG packets at ONUmodules in order to avoid unnecessary switching for the eventof failure at FFp Therefore the time required by ONUMAClayer for fault detection and switching operation is to be givenby 119879dg + 2119879cycle + 2119879cycle + 2119879cycle + 2119879cycle + 119879119904witching55 Power Budget and Network Capacity Power budgetrepresents the sum of losses at each component between OLTand ONUs The purpose of power budgeting in PONs is toensure the efficient delivery of transmitted data with nominalpower ratings since low power at the PIN photodiode cangenerate substantial amount of short and thermal noiseMoreover it also determines the OCP splitting ratio atRN which translates the number of subscribers in PONTherefore it is necessary to analyze power budget of theproposed system in order to ensure high capacity

For efficient recovery of transmitted information it isimperative that power received at the PIN photodiode mustbe greater than its 119877sen Table 3 shows the insertion losses atdownstream of the proposed tree-based protection architec-ture for SAC-OCDMA system [14]

If 119875CO represents the power drop across the central officewhich is the sum of insertion losses and gains of opticalcomponents at the CO as shown in Table 3 119875RN gives thepower loss across the FF and 2 119873OCP and 119875DN is the powerloss across the distribution network components then thedownstream power budget 119875DS can be calculated as

Table 4 shows the downstream power budget for theproposed tree-based hybrid protection architecture whileusing insertion losses fromTable 4 It is shown that utilizationof EDFA at CO can elevate power of the encoded spec-trum Therefore it can be detected and efficiently recoveredat the receiving photodiode Moreover without the useof EDFA at the transmitter module the value of 119875sr =minus10 dBm This value is significantly lower than requiredfor an error-free recovery Therefore a gain of 10 dB andabove is required for error-free transmission between OLTand ONU receiver module Same analogy applies on theupstream traffic which uses identical encoding and decodingarchitecture at ONU transmitter and OLT receiver modulerespectively

Furthermore downstream power budget in Table 4is determined with 2 64 OCP between OLT and ONUsIt is evident that end-face of RN represents the numberof ONUs in the access domain Therefore the proposedsystem can easily support 64 subscribers with nominalpower ratings at the receiving photodiode Furthermoreincrease in EDFA gain within minus5simminus30 dB can provide sup-port for desired number of subscribers in the proposedarchitecture

6 Cost Analysis

Cost figures of protection architectures are an importantparameter showing the economic benefits for a common enduser at the access domain This section determines overallexpenditure of the proposed architecture in comparison withexisting ITU-T type C D and hybrid architectures whileusing component costs in Table 5 [11 24] Cost figuresfor PON can be categorized as CAPEX and OPEX [1425] CAPEX represents the investment that is required forthe installation and deployment of PON in access domainCAPEX is calculated by computing the cost of networkequipment and fiber infrastructure Moreover CAPEX persubscribers is determined by dividing the sum of networkequipment and fiber infrastructure costs over the number ofsubscribers

OPEX is related to the cost of network operation fromthe time of deployment till replacement by a new technologyOPEX mainly consists of failure reparation cost serviceinterruption penalties and power consumed by active com-ponents at OLT and ONUs Reparation cost depends on thenumber of failures during the network lifetimeMean lifetimeandMTTRof each component determine the total downtowntime per year which is multiplied by the number of tech-nicians required and their salaries in order to calculate theyearly failure reparation cost Service interruption penaltiesinclude the expenditure that is spent on the fine defined inservice level agreement (SLA) between network operatorsand subscribers If the service interruption time is higherthan a threshold mentioned in SLA the operator has to pay afee depending on the interval that the service is unavailablePower consumption for OPEX is calculated by multiplyingthe sum of energy consumption of all active componentsduring the network lifetime with the unit price of electricalenergy [11 12 25 26]

Analysis is performed for residential customers only andlife span of the system is taken as 20 years Furthermore

(i) each OLT contains 4 ports with 16 subscribers perport

(ii) each architecture contains 20 km FF 5 km DF and1 km protection fiber between adjacent ONUs

(iii) cost of TDM and OCDMA based OLT and ONUs istaken to be the same

(iv) due to high variation in fiber digging cost it isassumed that fiber is laid in existing trenches at bothfeeder and distribution level

(v) no penalty cost is considered as only residentialcustomers are considered

(vi) repairing cost is 1000 $h(vii) per hour cost of electricity is taken to be 025 $kWh

If 119872 represents the number of PONs and 119873 is the totalnumber of subscribers then CAPEX equations (base onRBDs) for the considered protection architectures can bewritten as

119862[119862] = (119872 timesOLT timesOLT) + (20 times FF times FF)+ (119872 times 2 times 2 119873 OCP)+ (5 times 119873 times DF times DF)+ (119873 timesONU timesONU)

119862[119863] = (119872 timesOLT timesOLT) + (20 times FF times FF)+ (119872 timesOCP timesOCP)+ (119872 times 2 times 2 119873 OCP)+ (5 times 119873 times DF times DF)+ (119873 timesONU timesONU)

119862[119867] = (119872 timesOLT timesOLT) + (20 times FR)+ (119872 timesOCP) + (119872 times 2 119873 OCP)+ (5 times 119873 times DF) + (119873 timesONU)

119862[PT] = (119872 timesOLT) +OS + EDFA + (20 times FF times FF)+ (119872 times 2 119873 OCP) + (5 times 119873 times DF)+ (119873 times DR) + (119873 timesOCP) + (119873 timesOS)+ (119873 timesONU)

Figure 11(a) shows the deployment cost of different pro-tection architectures It is observed that the proposed archi-tecture requires minimum CAPEX in comparison with typesC D and hybrid schemes It is evident from the fact that typesC and D duplicate the entire PON which requires significant

amount of CAPEX for deployment Furthermore duplicationof OLT in hybrid architecture increases the overall cost ofdeployment as OLT is the most expensive active componentin PON shown in Table 5 Deployment cost of the proposedtree-based protection architecture is relatively low since itavoids duplication of OLT at the COMoreover efficient star-ring redundancy at the distribution level further reduces thecost of deployment by avoiding extensive fiber duplicationAs this architecture utilizes minimum components in systemconstruction therefore energy consumption in Figure 11 isalso significantly low

Figure 11(b) shows expenditure spent on the operation ofPONs after deployment It is observed that hybrid schemerequires the highest OPEX since no protection is provided atthe distribution level This significantly elevates the networkdowntime per year andmore resources are spent on detectingand recovering faults Figure 11(b) shows that the proposedarchitecture along with types C and D requires minimumreparation cost owing to desirable connection availabilityand minimal downtime per year Moreover no duplicationat OLT and ONU significantly reduces energy consumptionof the proposed architecture as compared to types C D andhybrid networks

Consequently the proposed tree-based hybrid SAC-OCDMA system requires minimum cost of deployment andoperation as shown in Figure 12 due to

(i) efficient star-ring topology that reduces the amountof DF and hence the cost required for deployment

(ii) no redundant OLT and ONU which reduce thedeployment cost and energy consumption over thenetwork life time

(iii) fault detection and restoration at both feeder andthe distribution level which significantly reduce the

4 Performance Analysis

Conversion of the received optical signal into electricaldomain is accompanied with shot PIIN and thermal noisesgenerated at the PIN photodiode Presence of these noisesources significantly reduces quality of the received sig-nal which elevates BER at the receiving end Thereforeit is imperative to determine performance of the pro-posed tree-based hybrid SAC-OCDMA system in the pres-ence of shot PIIN and thermal noises at the receivingphotodiode

41 Analytic Analysis Performance of the proposed tree-based hybrid SAC-OCDMA system is analyzed with refer-ence to signal to noise ratio (SNR) and BER of EMD code atthe encoder and SDDat the decoder Gaussian approximationis used to evaluate the performance while considering noisepowers at the receiving end [4] If 119868 represents the incidentcurrent 1198682 represents the power spectral density (PSD) and1205902 gives noise variance at the receiving photodiodeThen thetotal SNR is given by [8 15]

SNR = [ 11986821205902] (7)

where 1205902 is the sum of shot ⟨1198942shot⟩ PIIN ⟨1198942PIIN⟩ and thermal⟨1198942thermal⟩ noise powers which can also be written as

Table 1 shows the specifications and description of 1205902parameters in (8) Moreover the coherent time 120591119888 of intensitynoise terms in the photodiode output is given by

119866(120592) in (9) shows the PSD at the receiving photodiodeIn order to analyze performance of the proposed tree-based hybrid SAC-OCDMA system while using Gaussianapproximation it is assumed that each optical source isideally polarized with smooth spectrum throughout its band-width Moreover PIN photodiodes receive identical spectralwidth and power (119875sr) from each optical source [4 7 8]

If 119861119896(119894) denotes the 119894th element of 119870th EMD codethen the correlation properties at SDD based decoder if therequired information is recoverable from 119863119899 chip only aregiven by

It is assumed that the required information is recoverablefrom the nonoverlapping 119863119899 chip only which is directlydetected by the receiving photodiode as in normal intensitymodulationThus PIINnoise power is set equal to zero due tothe large difference between the auto- and cross-correlationproperty amongst the intended subscriber and interfererrsquos[4 7 23]

Consequently the total SNR based on (7) (8) and (16)when the probability of each user transmitting bit 1 at anyinstant is 12 can be written as

SNR = [R119875sr119908119873]2119890119861R119875sr119908119873 + 4119870119887119879119899119861119877119871 (17)

The estimated BER while using Gaussian approximationfor the proposed tree-based hybrid SAC-OCDMA systemcan be calculated as BER = (12)erfcradicSNR8 Figure 5shows transmission capacity of the proposed system byvarying number of subscribers at performance parameters inTable 1 It is shown that the proposed systemprovides efficientperformance in terms of SNR and BER as we increase thenumber of subscribers Fixed cross-correlation property ofEMD code reduces interference from adjacent subscribers [815] Moreover SDD technique receives the nonoverlappingspectral chip only which results in maximum differencebetween auto- and cross-correlation functions at the receiv-ing photodiode [4 7] Therefore SNR and related BER areoptimized since bothMAI and associated PIIN are eliminatedbefore the signal is converted to electrical domain

Figure 7 Performance analysis of the proposed tree-based hybridSAC-OCDMA system

42 SimulationAnalysis OptiSystem is used to analyze trans-mission capacity of the proposed tree-based hybrid SAC-OCDMA system in comparison with analytic model Anal-ysis is performed for 64 subscribers at back-to-back (B2B)and 25 km single mode fiber (SMF) fiber while using systemparameters shown in Table 2 Moreover EDFA gain andcomponent losses are adjusted tomaintainminus10 dBmpower atthe receiving photodiodes BER and eye pattern are observedat different data rates for performance analysis

Figure 7 shows transmission capacity of the proposedarchitecture in comparison with analytic and B2B results Itis observed that simulation and analytic analysis shows prox-imity with regard to BER for multiple subscribers simultane-ously accessing themediumwhich validates the performanceanalysis Moreover it is observed that BER increases for B2Bfollowed by fiber based simulation analysis It is evident fromthe fact that fiber introduces dispersion and attenuation to theencoded spectrum which further deteriorates performanceof the system However it is not significant enough to disruptthe normal operation Figure 7 also shows that the use of extracomponents like switches OCPs and so forth for protectionhas minuscule (almost negligible) effect on performance ofthe proposed SAC-OCDMA system

Figure 8 shows eye patterns from the simulation analysisat data rates of 1 15 and 2Gbps It is observed that eye

opening decreases as the amount of data increases howeverthe proposed system is able to provide efficient performanceby maintaining nominal eye openings at data rates of up to2Gbps

5 Survivability Analysis

This section outlines the fault detection and restorationcapacity of the proposed setup in terms of system initiationdetection and recovery at both feeder and distribution level

51 Initiation It is assumed that the proposed system is undernormalmode of operationOLTwill start and check the statusof FFp before transmitting any traffic OLT MAC layer willuse discovery gate (DG) packets [13] to check the status ofFFp If OLT receive acknowledgment (ACK) messages fromall or someONUmodules for the correspondingDGpacketsit will start its transmission using FFp However if no ACKmessages are received OLT will flip the switch towards FFsand check its status before transmission OLT will use thesame mechanism by sending DG packets to the connectedONUs for the status of FFs On the reception ofACKmessagesfrom ONUs OLT will start its operation via FFs In case ofnegative ACKs OLT will flip the switch towards its originalposition and wait for a specific time 119879s before starting theentire process again

Similarly ONUs will check for the connected DFs afterinitiating their normal operation They will also send a DGpacket towards OLT to check the working status of theircorresponding DF For positive ACK messages ONU willcontinue its normal operation through DF In case of noACKmessages ONUMAC layer will flip the switch positiontowards the redundant PF

While using the same mechanism ONU will check thestatus of the PF by sending DG packets towards OLT Forpositive ACKmessages ONU will resume its operation usingPF whereas in case of negative ACK messages ONU MAClayer will flip the switch towards its initial position and waitfor a specific time 119879s before starting the entire process again52 Feeder Fiber Failure To understand self-healing mech-anism of the proposed protection architecture it is assumedthat system is under normal mode of operation and all trafficfrom OLT is delivered through FFp During transmissionOLT will listen to the loss of signal (LOS) which representsthe absence of upstream signals from the connected ONUsIn case of no LOS OLT will continue its normal operationthrough FFp with OSsa at port 1

If failure or cut occurs at point 10158401198911015840 in FFp as shownin Figure 9 OLT will stop to receive any upstream trafficfrom the access domain At the same time OLT will notbe able to transmit any downstream traffic to the con-nected ONUs since FFp is the only transmission mediumbetween OLT and ONUs This will trigger the LOS flag atOLT

Consequently OLT MAC layer will initiate its recoverymechanism and send DG packets towards ONU modulesDG packets will determine the status of FFp concerning ACK

messages from ONUs that is if OLT receives ACK from allor some ONUs for the corresponding DG packets it willcontinue its normal operation However if no ACKmessagesare received OLT will retransmit the DG packets to confirmthe fault at the connected FFp After several attempts if noACKmessages are received from the access arena OLTMAClayerwill confirm that FFp is faulty and flip the switch towardsport 2 MAC layer will check the status of FFs through DGpackets Section 51 before transmitting information Forpositive ACK messages MAC layer will direct the OLT tostart transmission through the newly switched FFs as shownin Figure 9

OLT will continue its normal operation while using FFsand listen to the LOS until FFp is repaired It must be notedthat fault at FF will also disconnect the ONUs in accessdomain Consequently they will also initiate their recoverymechanism to resolve the flow of affected traffic whichwill lead to unnecessary switching at ONUs Therefore itis imperative to increase resolution time and mechanism offault detection in ONU modules as compared to OLT Thiswill avoid the unnecessary switching atONUs before the issueis resolved at the affected OLT

53 Distribution Fiber Failure Effect of failure at theDF is notas severe as that of the FF since the flow of traffic is disruptedto a single ONU Nevertheless this needs to be addressedin order to provide high subscriber satisfaction and reduceservice interruption penalty costs [11] in case of businesssubscribers at the access domain To explain the self-healing

mechanism at distribution level of the network ONU2 isconsidered which is under normal mode of operation OS2is at position 1 and all traffic is sent and received throughthe corresponding DF During transmission ONU2 will alsolisten to LOS which represents the absence of downstreamsignals from connected OLT In case of no LOS ONU2 willcontinue its normal operation through its corresponding DFwith OS2 at port 1 In case of failure at point 10158401198881015840 in the DFONU2 will not receive any downstream traffic from OLTSimilarly OLT will not receive any upstream traffic fromONU2 This will trigger LOS flag at ONU2

Thus ONU2 will initiate its recovery mechanism andMAC layer will send DG packet towards OLT in order toconfirm the status of connected DF On the reception ofACK messages from OLT ONU2 will continue its normaloperation with OS2 at position 1 If no ACK message isreceived from OLT ONU2 will perform several attempts toconfirm the status of connected DF The number of DGpackets sent by ONU2 must be twice as that of the ones sentby OLT in order to avoid any unnecessary switching

For repeated negative ACKs ONU2 will confirm thestatus of failure and flips the switch towards port 2 Con-sequently the flow of traffic will shift from DF to the DRbetween ONU2 and ONU3 as shown in Figure 10 Now alltraffic from ONU2 will be sent and received by the DF ofONU3 through the intermediate PF

It must be noted that each affected ONU can restore theflow traffic by reconnecting with OLT through its neighbor-ing ONUs in case of failure at the DF Based on the sameprinciple if failure or cut occurs at several DFs the affectedONUs can share the DFs with working ONUs to reconnectwith OLT

54 Restoration Time The time required for fault detec-tion and restoration can be determined by referring to theautodiscovery process in IEEE 8023ah [20] Let119879dg representthe time required by OLT to trigger LOS flag and send aDG packet towards the ONU modules Fault discovery isstarted after OLT sends the DG packets and takes 2119879cycle tocomplete the registration process from a single ONU In caseof negative acknowledgment OLT will retransmit the DG

ONU MAC layer adapts the same DG packets forfault detection at the distribution level Therefore the timerequired for fault detection and restoration at ONUmodulescan be determined through same methodology However itis necessary to increase the number of DG packets at ONUmodules in order to avoid unnecessary switching for the eventof failure at FFp Therefore the time required by ONUMAClayer for fault detection and switching operation is to be givenby 119879dg + 2119879cycle + 2119879cycle + 2119879cycle + 2119879cycle + 119879119904witching55 Power Budget and Network Capacity Power budgetrepresents the sum of losses at each component between OLTand ONUs The purpose of power budgeting in PONs is toensure the efficient delivery of transmitted data with nominalpower ratings since low power at the PIN photodiode cangenerate substantial amount of short and thermal noiseMoreover it also determines the OCP splitting ratio atRN which translates the number of subscribers in PONTherefore it is necessary to analyze power budget of theproposed system in order to ensure high capacity

For efficient recovery of transmitted information it isimperative that power received at the PIN photodiode mustbe greater than its 119877sen Table 3 shows the insertion losses atdownstream of the proposed tree-based protection architec-ture for SAC-OCDMA system [14]

If 119875CO represents the power drop across the central officewhich is the sum of insertion losses and gains of opticalcomponents at the CO as shown in Table 3 119875RN gives thepower loss across the FF and 2 119873OCP and 119875DN is the powerloss across the distribution network components then thedownstream power budget 119875DS can be calculated as

Table 4 shows the downstream power budget for theproposed tree-based hybrid protection architecture whileusing insertion losses fromTable 4 It is shown that utilizationof EDFA at CO can elevate power of the encoded spec-trum Therefore it can be detected and efficiently recoveredat the receiving photodiode Moreover without the useof EDFA at the transmitter module the value of 119875sr =minus10 dBm This value is significantly lower than requiredfor an error-free recovery Therefore a gain of 10 dB andabove is required for error-free transmission between OLTand ONU receiver module Same analogy applies on theupstream traffic which uses identical encoding and decodingarchitecture at ONU transmitter and OLT receiver modulerespectively

Furthermore downstream power budget in Table 4is determined with 2 64 OCP between OLT and ONUsIt is evident that end-face of RN represents the numberof ONUs in the access domain Therefore the proposedsystem can easily support 64 subscribers with nominalpower ratings at the receiving photodiode Furthermoreincrease in EDFA gain within minus5simminus30 dB can provide sup-port for desired number of subscribers in the proposedarchitecture

6 Cost Analysis

Cost figures of protection architectures are an importantparameter showing the economic benefits for a common enduser at the access domain This section determines overallexpenditure of the proposed architecture in comparison withexisting ITU-T type C D and hybrid architectures whileusing component costs in Table 5 [11 24] Cost figuresfor PON can be categorized as CAPEX and OPEX [1425] CAPEX represents the investment that is required forthe installation and deployment of PON in access domainCAPEX is calculated by computing the cost of networkequipment and fiber infrastructure Moreover CAPEX persubscribers is determined by dividing the sum of networkequipment and fiber infrastructure costs over the number ofsubscribers

OPEX is related to the cost of network operation fromthe time of deployment till replacement by a new technologyOPEX mainly consists of failure reparation cost serviceinterruption penalties and power consumed by active com-ponents at OLT and ONUs Reparation cost depends on thenumber of failures during the network lifetimeMean lifetimeandMTTRof each component determine the total downtowntime per year which is multiplied by the number of tech-nicians required and their salaries in order to calculate theyearly failure reparation cost Service interruption penaltiesinclude the expenditure that is spent on the fine defined inservice level agreement (SLA) between network operatorsand subscribers If the service interruption time is higherthan a threshold mentioned in SLA the operator has to pay afee depending on the interval that the service is unavailablePower consumption for OPEX is calculated by multiplyingthe sum of energy consumption of all active componentsduring the network lifetime with the unit price of electricalenergy [11 12 25 26]

Analysis is performed for residential customers only andlife span of the system is taken as 20 years Furthermore

(i) each OLT contains 4 ports with 16 subscribers perport

(ii) each architecture contains 20 km FF 5 km DF and1 km protection fiber between adjacent ONUs

(iii) cost of TDM and OCDMA based OLT and ONUs istaken to be the same

(iv) due to high variation in fiber digging cost it isassumed that fiber is laid in existing trenches at bothfeeder and distribution level

(v) no penalty cost is considered as only residentialcustomers are considered

(vi) repairing cost is 1000 $h(vii) per hour cost of electricity is taken to be 025 $kWh

If 119872 represents the number of PONs and 119873 is the totalnumber of subscribers then CAPEX equations (base onRBDs) for the considered protection architectures can bewritten as

119862[119862] = (119872 timesOLT timesOLT) + (20 times FF times FF)+ (119872 times 2 times 2 119873 OCP)+ (5 times 119873 times DF times DF)+ (119873 timesONU timesONU)

119862[119863] = (119872 timesOLT timesOLT) + (20 times FF times FF)+ (119872 timesOCP timesOCP)+ (119872 times 2 times 2 119873 OCP)+ (5 times 119873 times DF times DF)+ (119873 timesONU timesONU)

119862[119867] = (119872 timesOLT timesOLT) + (20 times FR)+ (119872 timesOCP) + (119872 times 2 119873 OCP)+ (5 times 119873 times DF) + (119873 timesONU)

119862[PT] = (119872 timesOLT) +OS + EDFA + (20 times FF times FF)+ (119872 times 2 119873 OCP) + (5 times 119873 times DF)+ (119873 times DR) + (119873 timesOCP) + (119873 timesOS)+ (119873 timesONU)

Figure 11(a) shows the deployment cost of different pro-tection architectures It is observed that the proposed archi-tecture requires minimum CAPEX in comparison with typesC D and hybrid schemes It is evident from the fact that typesC and D duplicate the entire PON which requires significant

amount of CAPEX for deployment Furthermore duplicationof OLT in hybrid architecture increases the overall cost ofdeployment as OLT is the most expensive active componentin PON shown in Table 5 Deployment cost of the proposedtree-based protection architecture is relatively low since itavoids duplication of OLT at the COMoreover efficient star-ring redundancy at the distribution level further reduces thecost of deployment by avoiding extensive fiber duplicationAs this architecture utilizes minimum components in systemconstruction therefore energy consumption in Figure 11 isalso significantly low

Figure 11(b) shows expenditure spent on the operation ofPONs after deployment It is observed that hybrid schemerequires the highest OPEX since no protection is provided atthe distribution level This significantly elevates the networkdowntime per year andmore resources are spent on detectingand recovering faults Figure 11(b) shows that the proposedarchitecture along with types C and D requires minimumreparation cost owing to desirable connection availabilityand minimal downtime per year Moreover no duplicationat OLT and ONU significantly reduces energy consumptionof the proposed architecture as compared to types C D andhybrid networks

Consequently the proposed tree-based hybrid SAC-OCDMA system requires minimum cost of deployment andoperation as shown in Figure 12 due to

(i) efficient star-ring topology that reduces the amountof DF and hence the cost required for deployment

(ii) no redundant OLT and ONU which reduce thedeployment cost and energy consumption over thenetwork life time

(iii) fault detection and restoration at both feeder andthe distribution level which significantly reduce the

119866 (120592) 119889120592 = 119875sr119908119873 (14)

Now the total incident current from (14) can be written as

119868 = R119875sr119908119873 (15)

R represents responsitivity of the receiving photodiodegiven by R = 120578119890ℎ120592119888 Table 1 shows the description andspecification of R parameters Thus total shot noise powerdue to a single LED after using (15) and (8) becomes

⟨1198942shot⟩ = 2119890119861R119875sr119908119873 (16)

It is assumed that the required information is recoverablefrom the nonoverlapping 119863119899 chip only which is directlydetected by the receiving photodiode as in normal intensitymodulationThus PIINnoise power is set equal to zero due tothe large difference between the auto- and cross-correlationproperty amongst the intended subscriber and interfererrsquos[4 7 23]

Consequently the total SNR based on (7) (8) and (16)when the probability of each user transmitting bit 1 at anyinstant is 12 can be written as

SNR = [R119875sr119908119873]2119890119861R119875sr119908119873 + 4119870119887119879119899119861119877119871 (17)

Figure 7 Performance analysis of the proposed tree-based hybridSAC-OCDMA system

42 SimulationAnalysis OptiSystem is used to analyze trans-mission capacity of the proposed tree-based hybrid SAC-OCDMA system in comparison with analytic model Anal-ysis is performed for 64 subscribers at back-to-back (B2B)and 25 km single mode fiber (SMF) fiber while using systemparameters shown in Table 2 Moreover EDFA gain andcomponent losses are adjusted tomaintainminus10 dBmpower atthe receiving photodiodes BER and eye pattern are observedat different data rates for performance analysis

Figure 7 shows transmission capacity of the proposedarchitecture in comparison with analytic and B2B results Itis observed that simulation and analytic analysis shows prox-imity with regard to BER for multiple subscribers simultane-ously accessing themediumwhich validates the performanceanalysis Moreover it is observed that BER increases for B2Bfollowed by fiber based simulation analysis It is evident fromthe fact that fiber introduces dispersion and attenuation to theencoded spectrum which further deteriorates performanceof the system However it is not significant enough to disruptthe normal operation Figure 7 also shows that the use of extracomponents like switches OCPs and so forth for protectionhas minuscule (almost negligible) effect on performance ofthe proposed SAC-OCDMA system

Figure 8 shows eye patterns from the simulation analysisat data rates of 1 15 and 2Gbps It is observed that eye

opening decreases as the amount of data increases howeverthe proposed system is able to provide efficient performanceby maintaining nominal eye openings at data rates of up to2Gbps

5 Survivability Analysis

This section outlines the fault detection and restorationcapacity of the proposed setup in terms of system initiationdetection and recovery at both feeder and distribution level

51 Initiation It is assumed that the proposed system is undernormalmode of operationOLTwill start and check the statusof FFp before transmitting any traffic OLT MAC layer willuse discovery gate (DG) packets [13] to check the status ofFFp If OLT receive acknowledgment (ACK) messages fromall or someONUmodules for the correspondingDGpacketsit will start its transmission using FFp However if no ACKmessages are received OLT will flip the switch towards FFsand check its status before transmission OLT will use thesame mechanism by sending DG packets to the connectedONUs for the status of FFs On the reception ofACKmessagesfrom ONUs OLT will start its operation via FFs In case ofnegative ACKs OLT will flip the switch towards its originalposition and wait for a specific time 119879s before starting theentire process again

Similarly ONUs will check for the connected DFs afterinitiating their normal operation They will also send a DGpacket towards OLT to check the working status of theircorresponding DF For positive ACK messages ONU willcontinue its normal operation through DF In case of noACKmessages ONUMAC layer will flip the switch positiontowards the redundant PF

While using the same mechanism ONU will check thestatus of the PF by sending DG packets towards OLT Forpositive ACKmessages ONU will resume its operation usingPF whereas in case of negative ACK messages ONU MAClayer will flip the switch towards its initial position and waitfor a specific time 119879s before starting the entire process again52 Feeder Fiber Failure To understand self-healing mech-anism of the proposed protection architecture it is assumedthat system is under normal mode of operation and all trafficfrom OLT is delivered through FFp During transmissionOLT will listen to the loss of signal (LOS) which representsthe absence of upstream signals from the connected ONUsIn case of no LOS OLT will continue its normal operationthrough FFp with OSsa at port 1

If failure or cut occurs at point 10158401198911015840 in FFp as shownin Figure 9 OLT will stop to receive any upstream trafficfrom the access domain At the same time OLT will notbe able to transmit any downstream traffic to the con-nected ONUs since FFp is the only transmission mediumbetween OLT and ONUs This will trigger the LOS flag atOLT

Consequently OLT MAC layer will initiate its recoverymechanism and send DG packets towards ONU modulesDG packets will determine the status of FFp concerning ACK

messages from ONUs that is if OLT receives ACK from allor some ONUs for the corresponding DG packets it willcontinue its normal operation However if no ACKmessagesare received OLT will retransmit the DG packets to confirmthe fault at the connected FFp After several attempts if noACKmessages are received from the access arena OLTMAClayerwill confirm that FFp is faulty and flip the switch towardsport 2 MAC layer will check the status of FFs through DGpackets Section 51 before transmitting information Forpositive ACK messages MAC layer will direct the OLT tostart transmission through the newly switched FFs as shownin Figure 9

OLT will continue its normal operation while using FFsand listen to the LOS until FFp is repaired It must be notedthat fault at FF will also disconnect the ONUs in accessdomain Consequently they will also initiate their recoverymechanism to resolve the flow of affected traffic whichwill lead to unnecessary switching at ONUs Therefore itis imperative to increase resolution time and mechanism offault detection in ONU modules as compared to OLT Thiswill avoid the unnecessary switching atONUs before the issueis resolved at the affected OLT

53 Distribution Fiber Failure Effect of failure at theDF is notas severe as that of the FF since the flow of traffic is disruptedto a single ONU Nevertheless this needs to be addressedin order to provide high subscriber satisfaction and reduceservice interruption penalty costs [11] in case of businesssubscribers at the access domain To explain the self-healing

mechanism at distribution level of the network ONU2 isconsidered which is under normal mode of operation OS2is at position 1 and all traffic is sent and received throughthe corresponding DF During transmission ONU2 will alsolisten to LOS which represents the absence of downstreamsignals from connected OLT In case of no LOS ONU2 willcontinue its normal operation through its corresponding DFwith OS2 at port 1 In case of failure at point 10158401198881015840 in the DFONU2 will not receive any downstream traffic from OLTSimilarly OLT will not receive any upstream traffic fromONU2 This will trigger LOS flag at ONU2

Thus ONU2 will initiate its recovery mechanism andMAC layer will send DG packet towards OLT in order toconfirm the status of connected DF On the reception ofACK messages from OLT ONU2 will continue its normaloperation with OS2 at position 1 If no ACK message isreceived from OLT ONU2 will perform several attempts toconfirm the status of connected DF The number of DGpackets sent by ONU2 must be twice as that of the ones sentby OLT in order to avoid any unnecessary switching

For repeated negative ACKs ONU2 will confirm thestatus of failure and flips the switch towards port 2 Con-sequently the flow of traffic will shift from DF to the DRbetween ONU2 and ONU3 as shown in Figure 10 Now alltraffic from ONU2 will be sent and received by the DF ofONU3 through the intermediate PF

It must be noted that each affected ONU can restore theflow traffic by reconnecting with OLT through its neighbor-ing ONUs in case of failure at the DF Based on the sameprinciple if failure or cut occurs at several DFs the affectedONUs can share the DFs with working ONUs to reconnectwith OLT

54 Restoration Time The time required for fault detec-tion and restoration can be determined by referring to theautodiscovery process in IEEE 8023ah [20] Let119879dg representthe time required by OLT to trigger LOS flag and send aDG packet towards the ONU modules Fault discovery isstarted after OLT sends the DG packets and takes 2119879cycle tocomplete the registration process from a single ONU In caseof negative acknowledgment OLT will retransmit the DG

ONU MAC layer adapts the same DG packets forfault detection at the distribution level Therefore the timerequired for fault detection and restoration at ONUmodulescan be determined through same methodology However itis necessary to increase the number of DG packets at ONUmodules in order to avoid unnecessary switching for the eventof failure at FFp Therefore the time required by ONUMAClayer for fault detection and switching operation is to be givenby 119879dg + 2119879cycle + 2119879cycle + 2119879cycle + 2119879cycle + 119879119904witching55 Power Budget and Network Capacity Power budgetrepresents the sum of losses at each component between OLTand ONUs The purpose of power budgeting in PONs is toensure the efficient delivery of transmitted data with nominalpower ratings since low power at the PIN photodiode cangenerate substantial amount of short and thermal noiseMoreover it also determines the OCP splitting ratio atRN which translates the number of subscribers in PONTherefore it is necessary to analyze power budget of theproposed system in order to ensure high capacity

For efficient recovery of transmitted information it isimperative that power received at the PIN photodiode mustbe greater than its 119877sen Table 3 shows the insertion losses atdownstream of the proposed tree-based protection architec-ture for SAC-OCDMA system [14]

If 119875CO represents the power drop across the central officewhich is the sum of insertion losses and gains of opticalcomponents at the CO as shown in Table 3 119875RN gives thepower loss across the FF and 2 119873OCP and 119875DN is the powerloss across the distribution network components then thedownstream power budget 119875DS can be calculated as

Table 4 shows the downstream power budget for theproposed tree-based hybrid protection architecture whileusing insertion losses fromTable 4 It is shown that utilizationof EDFA at CO can elevate power of the encoded spec-trum Therefore it can be detected and efficiently recoveredat the receiving photodiode Moreover without the useof EDFA at the transmitter module the value of 119875sr =minus10 dBm This value is significantly lower than requiredfor an error-free recovery Therefore a gain of 10 dB andabove is required for error-free transmission between OLTand ONU receiver module Same analogy applies on theupstream traffic which uses identical encoding and decodingarchitecture at ONU transmitter and OLT receiver modulerespectively

Furthermore downstream power budget in Table 4is determined with 2 64 OCP between OLT and ONUsIt is evident that end-face of RN represents the numberof ONUs in the access domain Therefore the proposedsystem can easily support 64 subscribers with nominalpower ratings at the receiving photodiode Furthermoreincrease in EDFA gain within minus5simminus30 dB can provide sup-port for desired number of subscribers in the proposedarchitecture

6 Cost Analysis

Cost figures of protection architectures are an importantparameter showing the economic benefits for a common enduser at the access domain This section determines overallexpenditure of the proposed architecture in comparison withexisting ITU-T type C D and hybrid architectures whileusing component costs in Table 5 [11 24] Cost figuresfor PON can be categorized as CAPEX and OPEX [1425] CAPEX represents the investment that is required forthe installation and deployment of PON in access domainCAPEX is calculated by computing the cost of networkequipment and fiber infrastructure Moreover CAPEX persubscribers is determined by dividing the sum of networkequipment and fiber infrastructure costs over the number ofsubscribers

OPEX is related to the cost of network operation fromthe time of deployment till replacement by a new technologyOPEX mainly consists of failure reparation cost serviceinterruption penalties and power consumed by active com-ponents at OLT and ONUs Reparation cost depends on thenumber of failures during the network lifetimeMean lifetimeandMTTRof each component determine the total downtowntime per year which is multiplied by the number of tech-nicians required and their salaries in order to calculate theyearly failure reparation cost Service interruption penaltiesinclude the expenditure that is spent on the fine defined inservice level agreement (SLA) between network operatorsand subscribers If the service interruption time is higherthan a threshold mentioned in SLA the operator has to pay afee depending on the interval that the service is unavailablePower consumption for OPEX is calculated by multiplyingthe sum of energy consumption of all active componentsduring the network lifetime with the unit price of electricalenergy [11 12 25 26]

Analysis is performed for residential customers only andlife span of the system is taken as 20 years Furthermore

(i) each OLT contains 4 ports with 16 subscribers perport

(ii) each architecture contains 20 km FF 5 km DF and1 km protection fiber between adjacent ONUs

(iii) cost of TDM and OCDMA based OLT and ONUs istaken to be the same

(iv) due to high variation in fiber digging cost it isassumed that fiber is laid in existing trenches at bothfeeder and distribution level

(v) no penalty cost is considered as only residentialcustomers are considered

(vi) repairing cost is 1000 $h(vii) per hour cost of electricity is taken to be 025 $kWh

If 119872 represents the number of PONs and 119873 is the totalnumber of subscribers then CAPEX equations (base onRBDs) for the considered protection architectures can bewritten as

119862[119862] = (119872 timesOLT timesOLT) + (20 times FF times FF)+ (119872 times 2 times 2 119873 OCP)+ (5 times 119873 times DF times DF)+ (119873 timesONU timesONU)

119862[119863] = (119872 timesOLT timesOLT) + (20 times FF times FF)+ (119872 timesOCP timesOCP)+ (119872 times 2 times 2 119873 OCP)+ (5 times 119873 times DF times DF)+ (119873 timesONU timesONU)

119862[119867] = (119872 timesOLT timesOLT) + (20 times FR)+ (119872 timesOCP) + (119872 times 2 119873 OCP)+ (5 times 119873 times DF) + (119873 timesONU)

119862[PT] = (119872 timesOLT) +OS + EDFA + (20 times FF times FF)+ (119872 times 2 119873 OCP) + (5 times 119873 times DF)+ (119873 times DR) + (119873 timesOCP) + (119873 timesOS)+ (119873 timesONU)

Figure 11(a) shows the deployment cost of different pro-tection architectures It is observed that the proposed archi-tecture requires minimum CAPEX in comparison with typesC D and hybrid schemes It is evident from the fact that typesC and D duplicate the entire PON which requires significant

amount of CAPEX for deployment Furthermore duplicationof OLT in hybrid architecture increases the overall cost ofdeployment as OLT is the most expensive active componentin PON shown in Table 5 Deployment cost of the proposedtree-based protection architecture is relatively low since itavoids duplication of OLT at the COMoreover efficient star-ring redundancy at the distribution level further reduces thecost of deployment by avoiding extensive fiber duplicationAs this architecture utilizes minimum components in systemconstruction therefore energy consumption in Figure 11 isalso significantly low

Figure 11(b) shows expenditure spent on the operation ofPONs after deployment It is observed that hybrid schemerequires the highest OPEX since no protection is provided atthe distribution level This significantly elevates the networkdowntime per year andmore resources are spent on detectingand recovering faults Figure 11(b) shows that the proposedarchitecture along with types C and D requires minimumreparation cost owing to desirable connection availabilityand minimal downtime per year Moreover no duplicationat OLT and ONU significantly reduces energy consumptionof the proposed architecture as compared to types C D andhybrid networks

Consequently the proposed tree-based hybrid SAC-OCDMA system requires minimum cost of deployment andoperation as shown in Figure 12 due to

(i) efficient star-ring topology that reduces the amountof DF and hence the cost required for deployment

(ii) no redundant OLT and ONU which reduce thedeployment cost and energy consumption over thenetwork life time

(iii) fault detection and restoration at both feeder andthe distribution level which significantly reduce the

Figure 7 Performance analysis of the proposed tree-based hybridSAC-OCDMA system

42 SimulationAnalysis OptiSystem is used to analyze trans-mission capacity of the proposed tree-based hybrid SAC-OCDMA system in comparison with analytic model Anal-ysis is performed for 64 subscribers at back-to-back (B2B)and 25 km single mode fiber (SMF) fiber while using systemparameters shown in Table 2 Moreover EDFA gain andcomponent losses are adjusted tomaintainminus10 dBmpower atthe receiving photodiodes BER and eye pattern are observedat different data rates for performance analysis

Figure 7 shows transmission capacity of the proposedarchitecture in comparison with analytic and B2B results Itis observed that simulation and analytic analysis shows prox-imity with regard to BER for multiple subscribers simultane-ously accessing themediumwhich validates the performanceanalysis Moreover it is observed that BER increases for B2Bfollowed by fiber based simulation analysis It is evident fromthe fact that fiber introduces dispersion and attenuation to theencoded spectrum which further deteriorates performanceof the system However it is not significant enough to disruptthe normal operation Figure 7 also shows that the use of extracomponents like switches OCPs and so forth for protectionhas minuscule (almost negligible) effect on performance ofthe proposed SAC-OCDMA system

Figure 8 shows eye patterns from the simulation analysisat data rates of 1 15 and 2Gbps It is observed that eye

opening decreases as the amount of data increases howeverthe proposed system is able to provide efficient performanceby maintaining nominal eye openings at data rates of up to2Gbps

5 Survivability Analysis

This section outlines the fault detection and restorationcapacity of the proposed setup in terms of system initiationdetection and recovery at both feeder and distribution level

51 Initiation It is assumed that the proposed system is undernormalmode of operationOLTwill start and check the statusof FFp before transmitting any traffic OLT MAC layer willuse discovery gate (DG) packets [13] to check the status ofFFp If OLT receive acknowledgment (ACK) messages fromall or someONUmodules for the correspondingDGpacketsit will start its transmission using FFp However if no ACKmessages are received OLT will flip the switch towards FFsand check its status before transmission OLT will use thesame mechanism by sending DG packets to the connectedONUs for the status of FFs On the reception ofACKmessagesfrom ONUs OLT will start its operation via FFs In case ofnegative ACKs OLT will flip the switch towards its originalposition and wait for a specific time 119879s before starting theentire process again

Similarly ONUs will check for the connected DFs afterinitiating their normal operation They will also send a DGpacket towards OLT to check the working status of theircorresponding DF For positive ACK messages ONU willcontinue its normal operation through DF In case of noACKmessages ONUMAC layer will flip the switch positiontowards the redundant PF

While using the same mechanism ONU will check thestatus of the PF by sending DG packets towards OLT Forpositive ACKmessages ONU will resume its operation usingPF whereas in case of negative ACK messages ONU MAClayer will flip the switch towards its initial position and waitfor a specific time 119879s before starting the entire process again52 Feeder Fiber Failure To understand self-healing mech-anism of the proposed protection architecture it is assumedthat system is under normal mode of operation and all trafficfrom OLT is delivered through FFp During transmissionOLT will listen to the loss of signal (LOS) which representsthe absence of upstream signals from the connected ONUsIn case of no LOS OLT will continue its normal operationthrough FFp with OSsa at port 1

If failure or cut occurs at point 10158401198911015840 in FFp as shownin Figure 9 OLT will stop to receive any upstream trafficfrom the access domain At the same time OLT will notbe able to transmit any downstream traffic to the con-nected ONUs since FFp is the only transmission mediumbetween OLT and ONUs This will trigger the LOS flag atOLT

Consequently OLT MAC layer will initiate its recoverymechanism and send DG packets towards ONU modulesDG packets will determine the status of FFp concerning ACK

messages from ONUs that is if OLT receives ACK from allor some ONUs for the corresponding DG packets it willcontinue its normal operation However if no ACKmessagesare received OLT will retransmit the DG packets to confirmthe fault at the connected FFp After several attempts if noACKmessages are received from the access arena OLTMAClayerwill confirm that FFp is faulty and flip the switch towardsport 2 MAC layer will check the status of FFs through DGpackets Section 51 before transmitting information Forpositive ACK messages MAC layer will direct the OLT tostart transmission through the newly switched FFs as shownin Figure 9

OLT will continue its normal operation while using FFsand listen to the LOS until FFp is repaired It must be notedthat fault at FF will also disconnect the ONUs in accessdomain Consequently they will also initiate their recoverymechanism to resolve the flow of affected traffic whichwill lead to unnecessary switching at ONUs Therefore itis imperative to increase resolution time and mechanism offault detection in ONU modules as compared to OLT Thiswill avoid the unnecessary switching atONUs before the issueis resolved at the affected OLT

53 Distribution Fiber Failure Effect of failure at theDF is notas severe as that of the FF since the flow of traffic is disruptedto a single ONU Nevertheless this needs to be addressedin order to provide high subscriber satisfaction and reduceservice interruption penalty costs [11] in case of businesssubscribers at the access domain To explain the self-healing

mechanism at distribution level of the network ONU2 isconsidered which is under normal mode of operation OS2is at position 1 and all traffic is sent and received throughthe corresponding DF During transmission ONU2 will alsolisten to LOS which represents the absence of downstreamsignals from connected OLT In case of no LOS ONU2 willcontinue its normal operation through its corresponding DFwith OS2 at port 1 In case of failure at point 10158401198881015840 in the DFONU2 will not receive any downstream traffic from OLTSimilarly OLT will not receive any upstream traffic fromONU2 This will trigger LOS flag at ONU2

Thus ONU2 will initiate its recovery mechanism andMAC layer will send DG packet towards OLT in order toconfirm the status of connected DF On the reception ofACK messages from OLT ONU2 will continue its normaloperation with OS2 at position 1 If no ACK message isreceived from OLT ONU2 will perform several attempts toconfirm the status of connected DF The number of DGpackets sent by ONU2 must be twice as that of the ones sentby OLT in order to avoid any unnecessary switching

For repeated negative ACKs ONU2 will confirm thestatus of failure and flips the switch towards port 2 Con-sequently the flow of traffic will shift from DF to the DRbetween ONU2 and ONU3 as shown in Figure 10 Now alltraffic from ONU2 will be sent and received by the DF ofONU3 through the intermediate PF

It must be noted that each affected ONU can restore theflow traffic by reconnecting with OLT through its neighbor-ing ONUs in case of failure at the DF Based on the sameprinciple if failure or cut occurs at several DFs the affectedONUs can share the DFs with working ONUs to reconnectwith OLT

54 Restoration Time The time required for fault detec-tion and restoration can be determined by referring to theautodiscovery process in IEEE 8023ah [20] Let119879dg representthe time required by OLT to trigger LOS flag and send aDG packet towards the ONU modules Fault discovery isstarted after OLT sends the DG packets and takes 2119879cycle tocomplete the registration process from a single ONU In caseof negative acknowledgment OLT will retransmit the DG

ONU MAC layer adapts the same DG packets forfault detection at the distribution level Therefore the timerequired for fault detection and restoration at ONUmodulescan be determined through same methodology However itis necessary to increase the number of DG packets at ONUmodules in order to avoid unnecessary switching for the eventof failure at FFp Therefore the time required by ONUMAClayer for fault detection and switching operation is to be givenby 119879dg + 2119879cycle + 2119879cycle + 2119879cycle + 2119879cycle + 119879119904witching55 Power Budget and Network Capacity Power budgetrepresents the sum of losses at each component between OLTand ONUs The purpose of power budgeting in PONs is toensure the efficient delivery of transmitted data with nominalpower ratings since low power at the PIN photodiode cangenerate substantial amount of short and thermal noiseMoreover it also determines the OCP splitting ratio atRN which translates the number of subscribers in PONTherefore it is necessary to analyze power budget of theproposed system in order to ensure high capacity

For efficient recovery of transmitted information it isimperative that power received at the PIN photodiode mustbe greater than its 119877sen Table 3 shows the insertion losses atdownstream of the proposed tree-based protection architec-ture for SAC-OCDMA system [14]

If 119875CO represents the power drop across the central officewhich is the sum of insertion losses and gains of opticalcomponents at the CO as shown in Table 3 119875RN gives thepower loss across the FF and 2 119873OCP and 119875DN is the powerloss across the distribution network components then thedownstream power budget 119875DS can be calculated as

Table 4 shows the downstream power budget for theproposed tree-based hybrid protection architecture whileusing insertion losses fromTable 4 It is shown that utilizationof EDFA at CO can elevate power of the encoded spec-trum Therefore it can be detected and efficiently recoveredat the receiving photodiode Moreover without the useof EDFA at the transmitter module the value of 119875sr =minus10 dBm This value is significantly lower than requiredfor an error-free recovery Therefore a gain of 10 dB andabove is required for error-free transmission between OLTand ONU receiver module Same analogy applies on theupstream traffic which uses identical encoding and decodingarchitecture at ONU transmitter and OLT receiver modulerespectively

Furthermore downstream power budget in Table 4is determined with 2 64 OCP between OLT and ONUsIt is evident that end-face of RN represents the numberof ONUs in the access domain Therefore the proposedsystem can easily support 64 subscribers with nominalpower ratings at the receiving photodiode Furthermoreincrease in EDFA gain within minus5simminus30 dB can provide sup-port for desired number of subscribers in the proposedarchitecture

6 Cost Analysis

Cost figures of protection architectures are an importantparameter showing the economic benefits for a common enduser at the access domain This section determines overallexpenditure of the proposed architecture in comparison withexisting ITU-T type C D and hybrid architectures whileusing component costs in Table 5 [11 24] Cost figuresfor PON can be categorized as CAPEX and OPEX [1425] CAPEX represents the investment that is required forthe installation and deployment of PON in access domainCAPEX is calculated by computing the cost of networkequipment and fiber infrastructure Moreover CAPEX persubscribers is determined by dividing the sum of networkequipment and fiber infrastructure costs over the number ofsubscribers

OPEX is related to the cost of network operation fromthe time of deployment till replacement by a new technologyOPEX mainly consists of failure reparation cost serviceinterruption penalties and power consumed by active com-ponents at OLT and ONUs Reparation cost depends on thenumber of failures during the network lifetimeMean lifetimeandMTTRof each component determine the total downtowntime per year which is multiplied by the number of tech-nicians required and their salaries in order to calculate theyearly failure reparation cost Service interruption penaltiesinclude the expenditure that is spent on the fine defined inservice level agreement (SLA) between network operatorsand subscribers If the service interruption time is higherthan a threshold mentioned in SLA the operator has to pay afee depending on the interval that the service is unavailablePower consumption for OPEX is calculated by multiplyingthe sum of energy consumption of all active componentsduring the network lifetime with the unit price of electricalenergy [11 12 25 26]

Analysis is performed for residential customers only andlife span of the system is taken as 20 years Furthermore

(i) each OLT contains 4 ports with 16 subscribers perport

(ii) each architecture contains 20 km FF 5 km DF and1 km protection fiber between adjacent ONUs

(iii) cost of TDM and OCDMA based OLT and ONUs istaken to be the same

(iv) due to high variation in fiber digging cost it isassumed that fiber is laid in existing trenches at bothfeeder and distribution level

(v) no penalty cost is considered as only residentialcustomers are considered

(vi) repairing cost is 1000 $h(vii) per hour cost of electricity is taken to be 025 $kWh

If 119872 represents the number of PONs and 119873 is the totalnumber of subscribers then CAPEX equations (base onRBDs) for the considered protection architectures can bewritten as

119862[119862] = (119872 timesOLT timesOLT) + (20 times FF times FF)+ (119872 times 2 times 2 119873 OCP)+ (5 times 119873 times DF times DF)+ (119873 timesONU timesONU)

119862[119863] = (119872 timesOLT timesOLT) + (20 times FF times FF)+ (119872 timesOCP timesOCP)+ (119872 times 2 times 2 119873 OCP)+ (5 times 119873 times DF times DF)+ (119873 timesONU timesONU)

119862[119867] = (119872 timesOLT timesOLT) + (20 times FR)+ (119872 timesOCP) + (119872 times 2 119873 OCP)+ (5 times 119873 times DF) + (119873 timesONU)

119862[PT] = (119872 timesOLT) +OS + EDFA + (20 times FF times FF)+ (119872 times 2 119873 OCP) + (5 times 119873 times DF)+ (119873 times DR) + (119873 timesOCP) + (119873 timesOS)+ (119873 timesONU)

(20)

Figure 11(a) shows the deployment cost of different pro-tection architectures It is observed that the proposed archi-tecture requires minimum CAPEX in comparison with typesC D and hybrid schemes It is evident from the fact that typesC and D duplicate the entire PON which requires significant

amount of CAPEX for deployment Furthermore duplicationof OLT in hybrid architecture increases the overall cost ofdeployment as OLT is the most expensive active componentin PON shown in Table 5 Deployment cost of the proposedtree-based protection architecture is relatively low since itavoids duplication of OLT at the COMoreover efficient star-ring redundancy at the distribution level further reduces thecost of deployment by avoiding extensive fiber duplicationAs this architecture utilizes minimum components in systemconstruction therefore energy consumption in Figure 11 isalso significantly low

Figure 11(b) shows expenditure spent on the operation ofPONs after deployment It is observed that hybrid schemerequires the highest OPEX since no protection is provided atthe distribution level This significantly elevates the networkdowntime per year andmore resources are spent on detectingand recovering faults Figure 11(b) shows that the proposedarchitecture along with types C and D requires minimumreparation cost owing to desirable connection availabilityand minimal downtime per year Moreover no duplicationat OLT and ONU significantly reduces energy consumptionof the proposed architecture as compared to types C D andhybrid networks

Consequently the proposed tree-based hybrid SAC-OCDMA system requires minimum cost of deployment andoperation as shown in Figure 12 due to

(i) efficient star-ring topology that reduces the amountof DF and hence the cost required for deployment

(ii) no redundant OLT and ONU which reduce thedeployment cost and energy consumption over thenetwork life time

(iii) fault detection and restoration at both feeder andthe distribution level which significantly reduce the

messages from ONUs that is if OLT receives ACK from allor some ONUs for the corresponding DG packets it willcontinue its normal operation However if no ACKmessagesare received OLT will retransmit the DG packets to confirmthe fault at the connected FFp After several attempts if noACKmessages are received from the access arena OLTMAClayerwill confirm that FFp is faulty and flip the switch towardsport 2 MAC layer will check the status of FFs through DGpackets Section 51 before transmitting information Forpositive ACK messages MAC layer will direct the OLT tostart transmission through the newly switched FFs as shownin Figure 9

OLT will continue its normal operation while using FFsand listen to the LOS until FFp is repaired It must be notedthat fault at FF will also disconnect the ONUs in accessdomain Consequently they will also initiate their recoverymechanism to resolve the flow of affected traffic whichwill lead to unnecessary switching at ONUs Therefore itis imperative to increase resolution time and mechanism offault detection in ONU modules as compared to OLT Thiswill avoid the unnecessary switching atONUs before the issueis resolved at the affected OLT

53 Distribution Fiber Failure Effect of failure at theDF is notas severe as that of the FF since the flow of traffic is disruptedto a single ONU Nevertheless this needs to be addressedin order to provide high subscriber satisfaction and reduceservice interruption penalty costs [11] in case of businesssubscribers at the access domain To explain the self-healing

mechanism at distribution level of the network ONU2 isconsidered which is under normal mode of operation OS2is at position 1 and all traffic is sent and received throughthe corresponding DF During transmission ONU2 will alsolisten to LOS which represents the absence of downstreamsignals from connected OLT In case of no LOS ONU2 willcontinue its normal operation through its corresponding DFwith OS2 at port 1 In case of failure at point 10158401198881015840 in the DFONU2 will not receive any downstream traffic from OLTSimilarly OLT will not receive any upstream traffic fromONU2 This will trigger LOS flag at ONU2

Thus ONU2 will initiate its recovery mechanism andMAC layer will send DG packet towards OLT in order toconfirm the status of connected DF On the reception ofACK messages from OLT ONU2 will continue its normaloperation with OS2 at position 1 If no ACK message isreceived from OLT ONU2 will perform several attempts toconfirm the status of connected DF The number of DGpackets sent by ONU2 must be twice as that of the ones sentby OLT in order to avoid any unnecessary switching

For repeated negative ACKs ONU2 will confirm thestatus of failure and flips the switch towards port 2 Con-sequently the flow of traffic will shift from DF to the DRbetween ONU2 and ONU3 as shown in Figure 10 Now alltraffic from ONU2 will be sent and received by the DF ofONU3 through the intermediate PF

It must be noted that each affected ONU can restore theflow traffic by reconnecting with OLT through its neighbor-ing ONUs in case of failure at the DF Based on the sameprinciple if failure or cut occurs at several DFs the affectedONUs can share the DFs with working ONUs to reconnectwith OLT

54 Restoration Time The time required for fault detec-tion and restoration can be determined by referring to theautodiscovery process in IEEE 8023ah [20] Let119879dg representthe time required by OLT to trigger LOS flag and send aDG packet towards the ONU modules Fault discovery isstarted after OLT sends the DG packets and takes 2119879cycle tocomplete the registration process from a single ONU In caseof negative acknowledgment OLT will retransmit the DG

ONU MAC layer adapts the same DG packets forfault detection at the distribution level Therefore the timerequired for fault detection and restoration at ONUmodulescan be determined through same methodology However itis necessary to increase the number of DG packets at ONUmodules in order to avoid unnecessary switching for the eventof failure at FFp Therefore the time required by ONUMAClayer for fault detection and switching operation is to be givenby 119879dg + 2119879cycle + 2119879cycle + 2119879cycle + 2119879cycle + 119879119904witching55 Power Budget and Network Capacity Power budgetrepresents the sum of losses at each component between OLTand ONUs The purpose of power budgeting in PONs is toensure the efficient delivery of transmitted data with nominalpower ratings since low power at the PIN photodiode cangenerate substantial amount of short and thermal noiseMoreover it also determines the OCP splitting ratio atRN which translates the number of subscribers in PONTherefore it is necessary to analyze power budget of theproposed system in order to ensure high capacity

6 Cost Analysis

Cost figures of protection architectures are an importantparameter showing the economic benefits for a common enduser at the access domain This section determines overallexpenditure of the proposed architecture in comparison withexisting ITU-T type C D and hybrid architectures whileusing component costs in Table 5 [11 24] Cost figuresfor PON can be categorized as CAPEX and OPEX [1425] CAPEX represents the investment that is required forthe installation and deployment of PON in access domainCAPEX is calculated by computing the cost of networkequipment and fiber infrastructure Moreover CAPEX persubscribers is determined by dividing the sum of networkequipment and fiber infrastructure costs over the number ofsubscribers

OPEX is related to the cost of network operation fromthe time of deployment till replacement by a new technologyOPEX mainly consists of failure reparation cost serviceinterruption penalties and power consumed by active com-ponents at OLT and ONUs Reparation cost depends on thenumber of failures during the network lifetimeMean lifetimeandMTTRof each component determine the total downtowntime per year which is multiplied by the number of tech-nicians required and their salaries in order to calculate theyearly failure reparation cost Service interruption penaltiesinclude the expenditure that is spent on the fine defined inservice level agreement (SLA) between network operatorsand subscribers If the service interruption time is higherthan a threshold mentioned in SLA the operator has to pay afee depending on the interval that the service is unavailablePower consumption for OPEX is calculated by multiplyingthe sum of energy consumption of all active componentsduring the network lifetime with the unit price of electricalenergy [11 12 25 26]

Analysis is performed for residential customers only andlife span of the system is taken as 20 years Furthermore

(i) each OLT contains 4 ports with 16 subscribers perport

(ii) each architecture contains 20 km FF 5 km DF and1 km protection fiber between adjacent ONUs

(iii) cost of TDM and OCDMA based OLT and ONUs istaken to be the same

(iv) due to high variation in fiber digging cost it isassumed that fiber is laid in existing trenches at bothfeeder and distribution level

(v) no penalty cost is considered as only residentialcustomers are considered

(vi) repairing cost is 1000 $h(vii) per hour cost of electricity is taken to be 025 $kWh

If 119872 represents the number of PONs and 119873 is the totalnumber of subscribers then CAPEX equations (base onRBDs) for the considered protection architectures can bewritten as

119862[119862] = (119872 timesOLT timesOLT) + (20 times FF times FF)+ (119872 times 2 times 2 119873 OCP)+ (5 times 119873 times DF times DF)+ (119873 timesONU timesONU)

119862[119863] = (119872 timesOLT timesOLT) + (20 times FF times FF)+ (119872 timesOCP timesOCP)+ (119872 times 2 times 2 119873 OCP)+ (5 times 119873 times DF times DF)+ (119873 timesONU timesONU)

119862[119867] = (119872 timesOLT timesOLT) + (20 times FR)+ (119872 timesOCP) + (119872 times 2 119873 OCP)+ (5 times 119873 times DF) + (119873 timesONU)

119862[PT] = (119872 timesOLT) +OS + EDFA + (20 times FF times FF)+ (119872 times 2 119873 OCP) + (5 times 119873 times DF)+ (119873 times DR) + (119873 timesOCP) + (119873 timesOS)+ (119873 timesONU)

Figure 11(a) shows the deployment cost of different pro-tection architectures It is observed that the proposed archi-tecture requires minimum CAPEX in comparison with typesC D and hybrid schemes It is evident from the fact that typesC and D duplicate the entire PON which requires significant

amount of CAPEX for deployment Furthermore duplicationof OLT in hybrid architecture increases the overall cost ofdeployment as OLT is the most expensive active componentin PON shown in Table 5 Deployment cost of the proposedtree-based protection architecture is relatively low since itavoids duplication of OLT at the COMoreover efficient star-ring redundancy at the distribution level further reduces thecost of deployment by avoiding extensive fiber duplicationAs this architecture utilizes minimum components in systemconstruction therefore energy consumption in Figure 11 isalso significantly low

Figure 11(b) shows expenditure spent on the operation ofPONs after deployment It is observed that hybrid schemerequires the highest OPEX since no protection is provided atthe distribution level This significantly elevates the networkdowntime per year andmore resources are spent on detectingand recovering faults Figure 11(b) shows that the proposedarchitecture along with types C and D requires minimumreparation cost owing to desirable connection availabilityand minimal downtime per year Moreover no duplicationat OLT and ONU significantly reduces energy consumptionof the proposed architecture as compared to types C D andhybrid networks

Consequently the proposed tree-based hybrid SAC-OCDMA system requires minimum cost of deployment andoperation as shown in Figure 12 due to

(i) efficient star-ring topology that reduces the amountof DF and hence the cost required for deployment

(ii) no redundant OLT and ONU which reduce thedeployment cost and energy consumption over thenetwork life time

(iii) fault detection and restoration at both feeder andthe distribution level which significantly reduce the

Furthermore downstream power budget in Table 4is determined with 2 64 OCP between OLT and ONUsIt is evident that end-face of RN represents the numberof ONUs in the access domain Therefore the proposedsystem can easily support 64 subscribers with nominalpower ratings at the receiving photodiode Furthermoreincrease in EDFA gain within minus5simminus30 dB can provide sup-port for desired number of subscribers in the proposedarchitecture

6 Cost Analysis

Cost figures of protection architectures are an importantparameter showing the economic benefits for a common enduser at the access domain This section determines overallexpenditure of the proposed architecture in comparison withexisting ITU-T type C D and hybrid architectures whileusing component costs in Table 5 [11 24] Cost figuresfor PON can be categorized as CAPEX and OPEX [1425] CAPEX represents the investment that is required forthe installation and deployment of PON in access domainCAPEX is calculated by computing the cost of networkequipment and fiber infrastructure Moreover CAPEX persubscribers is determined by dividing the sum of networkequipment and fiber infrastructure costs over the number ofsubscribers

OPEX is related to the cost of network operation fromthe time of deployment till replacement by a new technologyOPEX mainly consists of failure reparation cost serviceinterruption penalties and power consumed by active com-ponents at OLT and ONUs Reparation cost depends on thenumber of failures during the network lifetimeMean lifetimeandMTTRof each component determine the total downtowntime per year which is multiplied by the number of tech-nicians required and their salaries in order to calculate theyearly failure reparation cost Service interruption penaltiesinclude the expenditure that is spent on the fine defined inservice level agreement (SLA) between network operatorsand subscribers If the service interruption time is higherthan a threshold mentioned in SLA the operator has to pay afee depending on the interval that the service is unavailablePower consumption for OPEX is calculated by multiplyingthe sum of energy consumption of all active componentsduring the network lifetime with the unit price of electricalenergy [11 12 25 26]

Analysis is performed for residential customers only andlife span of the system is taken as 20 years Furthermore

(i) each OLT contains 4 ports with 16 subscribers perport

(ii) each architecture contains 20 km FF 5 km DF and1 km protection fiber between adjacent ONUs

(iii) cost of TDM and OCDMA based OLT and ONUs istaken to be the same

(iv) due to high variation in fiber digging cost it isassumed that fiber is laid in existing trenches at bothfeeder and distribution level

(v) no penalty cost is considered as only residentialcustomers are considered

(vi) repairing cost is 1000 $h(vii) per hour cost of electricity is taken to be 025 $kWh

If 119872 represents the number of PONs and 119873 is the totalnumber of subscribers then CAPEX equations (base onRBDs) for the considered protection architectures can bewritten as

119862[119862] = (119872 timesOLT timesOLT) + (20 times FF times FF)+ (119872 times 2 times 2 119873 OCP)+ (5 times 119873 times DF times DF)+ (119873 timesONU timesONU)

119862[119863] = (119872 timesOLT timesOLT) + (20 times FF times FF)+ (119872 timesOCP timesOCP)+ (119872 times 2 times 2 119873 OCP)+ (5 times 119873 times DF times DF)+ (119873 timesONU timesONU)

119862[119867] = (119872 timesOLT timesOLT) + (20 times FR)+ (119872 timesOCP) + (119872 times 2 119873 OCP)+ (5 times 119873 times DF) + (119873 timesONU)

119862[PT] = (119872 timesOLT) +OS + EDFA + (20 times FF times FF)+ (119872 times 2 119873 OCP) + (5 times 119873 times DF)+ (119873 times DR) + (119873 timesOCP) + (119873 timesOS)+ (119873 timesONU)

Figure 11(a) shows the deployment cost of different pro-tection architectures It is observed that the proposed archi-tecture requires minimum CAPEX in comparison with typesC D and hybrid schemes It is evident from the fact that typesC and D duplicate the entire PON which requires significant

Figure 11 CAPEX and OPEX of existing architectures in comparison with proposed tree-based hybrid SAC-OCDMA system

amount of CAPEX for deployment Furthermore duplicationof OLT in hybrid architecture increases the overall cost ofdeployment as OLT is the most expensive active componentin PON shown in Table 5 Deployment cost of the proposedtree-based protection architecture is relatively low since itavoids duplication of OLT at the COMoreover efficient star-ring redundancy at the distribution level further reduces thecost of deployment by avoiding extensive fiber duplicationAs this architecture utilizes minimum components in systemconstruction therefore energy consumption in Figure 11 isalso significantly low

Figure 11(b) shows expenditure spent on the operation ofPONs after deployment It is observed that hybrid schemerequires the highest OPEX since no protection is provided atthe distribution level This significantly elevates the networkdowntime per year andmore resources are spent on detectingand recovering faults Figure 11(b) shows that the proposedarchitecture along with types C and D requires minimumreparation cost owing to desirable connection availabilityand minimal downtime per year Moreover no duplicationat OLT and ONU significantly reduces energy consumptionof the proposed architecture as compared to types C D andhybrid networks

Consequently the proposed tree-based hybrid SAC-OCDMA system requires minimum cost of deployment andoperation as shown in Figure 12 due to

(i) efficient star-ring topology that reduces the amountof DF and hence the cost required for deployment

(ii) no redundant OLT and ONU which reduce thedeployment cost and energy consumption over thenetwork life time

(iii) fault detection and restoration at both feeder andthe distribution level which significantly reduce the

Figure 11 CAPEX and OPEX of existing architectures in comparison with proposed tree-based hybrid SAC-OCDMA system

amount of CAPEX for deployment Furthermore duplicationof OLT in hybrid architecture increases the overall cost ofdeployment as OLT is the most expensive active componentin PON shown in Table 5 Deployment cost of the proposedtree-based protection architecture is relatively low since itavoids duplication of OLT at the COMoreover efficient star-ring redundancy at the distribution level further reduces thecost of deployment by avoiding extensive fiber duplicationAs this architecture utilizes minimum components in systemconstruction therefore energy consumption in Figure 11 isalso significantly low

Figure 11(b) shows expenditure spent on the operation ofPONs after deployment It is observed that hybrid schemerequires the highest OPEX since no protection is provided atthe distribution level This significantly elevates the networkdowntime per year andmore resources are spent on detectingand recovering faults Figure 11(b) shows that the proposedarchitecture along with types C and D requires minimumreparation cost owing to desirable connection availabilityand minimal downtime per year Moreover no duplicationat OLT and ONU significantly reduces energy consumptionof the proposed architecture as compared to types C D andhybrid networks

Consequently the proposed tree-based hybrid SAC-OCDMA system requires minimum cost of deployment andoperation as shown in Figure 12 due to

(i) efficient star-ring topology that reduces the amountof DF and hence the cost required for deployment

(ii) no redundant OLT and ONU which reduce thedeployment cost and energy consumption over thenetwork life time

(iii) fault detection and restoration at both feeder andthe distribution level which significantly reduce the

7 Conclusion

Efficient operation of PON requires a reliable architecturewhich is able to provide high network capacity along withfault detection and restoration mechanism This paper pro-poses a novel tree-based hybrid SAC-OCDMA system withEMD code and two-tier protection EMD code significantlyelevates performance of the proposed system by negatingMAI and PIIN through efficient correlation properties along
