Abstract
The fairness aspect on handling user data flows in modern broadband telecommunication networks is of paramount importance since it strongly affects the quality of the provided services. In this work, the fairness provisioning is investigated in a competitive telecommunication field such as the passive optical networks (PONs). Intending to resolve unequal resource allocation in the downstream data delivery, a fair bandwidth assignment scheme is devised and evaluated. The Max-Min fairness concept is applied in order to determine the best effort (BE) bandwidth allocation of each optical network unit (ONU) in the optical line terminal (OLT) side. Simulation results indicate the benefits of utilizing the proposed resource allocation technique in terms of fair bandwidth distribution.
