Abstract

Due to the expansion of internet and multimedia services, such as Passive Optical Network (PON) come to the forefront of the research field.Network service provider mostly deploy Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) based PON because it is cost effective.The main limitation with TDM-PON is its limited bandwidth.So in order to provide increased bandwidth Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) based PON is used.But the main limitation with WDM-PON is its high cost.Therefore the advantages of TDM-PON and WDM-PON mitigate with each other and we propose the architecture of hybrid WDM/TDM PON.In this paper, we evaluate the performance of hybrid WDM/TDM PON in terms of Q-factor and Bit Error Rate (BER).
