Abstract
Cost effectiveness and energy efficiency have recently become two practical
issues during access networks construction and operation. In this paper, we
extend our previous proposal of a remote channel combine/split module for
long-reach wavelength division multiplexed and time division multiplexed passive
optical network systems. Besides previously discussed benefits on investment
cost and energy efficiency under take-up-rate-adaptive mode, this study shows
that proposed systems help achieve higher energy saving by adopting traffic-adaptive
power management. Simulation results show up to 35% power consumption saving
at the time of minimum traffic demands. Moreover, in terms of energy consumption
over periodic time, we find a typical 20% energy saving can be achieved compared
to conventional systems in fully operated stage.
