Abstract

With the development of diversified communication services in smart grid, user demand and communication capacity have increased constantly, which imposes severe challenges on electric power telecommunication. Especially, the Metro Access Network (MAN) needs to aggregate and exchange a wider variety of services. However, metro and access networks developed independently, thus consuming a lot of network resources in complex infrastructures, which increases the development and operational costs of network operators. To address these problems above, we propose and demonstrate a novel metro-access integrated network based on Intensity Modulation and Direct Detection (IM/DD) Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) techniques. It consists of a single fiber ring and many single fiber trees, and transparently integrates metropolitan area networks with optical access networks. The single fiber ring connects core networks and Central Nodes (CNs) which can allocate subcarriers according to user demand. Meanwhile, they can also implement flexible power distribution. The Remote Nodes (RNs) distributed on the user side are connected with the corresponding CN through the single fiber tree. Simulation results indicate that our proposed metro-access integrated network is feasible for electric power telecommunication while ensuring agile power distribution.
