Thats a unique idea.You should consider the following idea to enhance your idea so that it would impact uniquely: Ethernet-based passive optical network (EPON) is a cost-effective optical access technology, which can provide massive bandwidth and smooth connection with legacy Ethernet networks. Due to limited uplink bandwidth, bursty and unstable traffic load, EPONs may fail to provide sufficient bandwidth to meet the bandwidth requirement of all users. Pursuing fairness of bandwidth distribution and maximization of channel utilization has been identified as two important design goals for dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) schemes.  investigates, for the first time to our best knowledge, a long-term proportional fairness within multiple granting cycles for inter-ONU (optical network unit) DBA for EPONs.  define a surplus bandwidth proportional factor, which jointly taking into account the different bandwidth requirement, variable traffic load and historical actually allocated bandwidth ratio of previous multiple granting cycles. The proposed scheme can assure the granted bandwidth will not exceed the requested bandwidth, thus avoids waste of bandwidth. The simulation results show that the proposed DBA scheme operates effectively and efficiently in terms of fairness index and channel utilization.
