In a GPON system, dynamic bandwidth assignment (DBA) needs to be configured for ONU upstream...

Dynamic Bandwidth Assignment (DBA) :

DBA is a key mechanism in GPON systems that dynamically allocates upstream bandwidth among ONUs based on their traffic demands.

Functions of DBA :

To provide high-bandwidth services : DBA ensures that ONUs can access sufficient bandwidth for high-priority or bursty traffic, such as video streaming or large file uploads.

To avoid optical signal conflicts : This is achieved through TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access), not directly by DBA. DBA focuses on bandwidth allocation rather than collision avoidance.

To improve upstream bandwidth utilization : By dynamically allocating bandwidth, DBA ensures efficient use of the limited upstream capacity of a PON port.

To dynamically allocate upstream bandwidth : DBA operates in real-time, adjusting bandwidth allocations within microseconds or milliseconds to meet changing traffic demands.

Why A, C, D?

These options accurately describe the functions of DBA. Option B is incorrect because avoiding optical signal conflicts is handled by TDMA, not DBA.

Thus, the correct answers are A, C, D .
