Analysis of Mean Packet Delay for Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation Algorithms in EPONs

Closed-form mathematical expressions of network performances, such as the mean packet delay, are useful for evaluating a communication network during the design process. This paper provides derivations of closed-form expressions of the mean packet delay for the gated service and the limited service of dynamic bandwidth allocation in Ethernet passive optical networks (EPONs). Based on the M/G/1 queueing analysis framework of a multiuser cyclic...
