Peris: A Novel Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation (DBA) Method with Second-Price Auction in Next Generation Military Networks Based on EPON Technology

In the foreseeable future, networks of access devices that can cooperate and effectively communicate with military backbone infrastructure will significantly influence and simplify military operations. As one of the promising solutions for developing next generation military networks, Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) has received great attention from both industry and academia in recent years. Based on the EPON technology, bandwidth constraint is a critical issue in military communication. In this paper we propose Peris, a novel dynamic bandwidth allocation method with second price auction in next generation military networks based on EPON technology. In this new method, the OLT (similar to the leaders) is responsible for the auction management which effectively and fairly responds to the bandwidth requests of the users through their own ONUs and allocates the winners the amount of requested available bandwidth. Simulation results show that comparing Peris with IPACT, regarding QoS parameters such as packet loss ratio, line utilization and throughput, it has better performance.
