This paper proposes an energy-saving passive optical network framework (ESPON) that aims to incorporate optical network unit (ONU) sleep/doze mode into dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) algorithms to reduce ONU energy consumption. Special attention in the paper is further given to analyzing the impact of a constant increase in the number of. Starting early in the 21st century, deployment of Passive Optical Networks began in earnest, in support of 'triple play' service bundles, in which faster internet speeds, lower latency, and more video bandwidth were all key selling points. The first wave of deployment used BPON, followed by. The Passive Optical Network (PON) is considered as the most energy-efficient access network due to its passive nature; however, its downstream (DS) broadcast traffic characteristics lead to significant energy waste. In the ESPON, the optical line terminal (OLT) schedules both.
