abstract = {This paper proposes an alternate solution for
Ethernet passive optical networks. Our solution uses a
novel protocol named full
utilization local loop request contention multiple-access protocol to
efficiently provide communications in passive optical networks. We study the
physical layer implementation, as well as medium access control (MAC) layer
protocol performance to illustrate the feasibility and benefit of our solution.
The performance studies show that the MAC protocol is capable of offering 95%
channel utilization under heavy load conditions.
The performance results also indicate that delivery of multimedia traffic with
a high
quality-of-service can be achieved with our solution.}
