ABSTRACT:
The motivation behind this work is the need for
performance analysis of Al-Gehad/Baghdad“Fiber To The Home”(FTTH)
network which is one of the Iraq Telecommunication Post and Company(ITPC)
FTTH projectsin2010 in Baghdad City. Based on the detailed study of this project,
the design, implementation, and analysis of this network has been putting under
consideration through a mathematical model simulated and performance evaluated.
The link utilization and number of OLT ports (PON) had been studied and
evaluated as a function of cycle time. Cost optimization was done through
evaluation the total cost of PON system and who it affected with the number of
ONUs (i.e. splitting ratio), as well as cost ratio between EPON and GPON is
evaluated. Then GPON system has been optimized to analyze and evaluate the
feeder network cost, distribution network cost, and total network cost.
