Performance Analysis Of Optical Fiber Network From Mac Layer Perspective<br>
<br>

<strong>Abstract</strong><br>
Optical fiber provides  infinite capacity to support the rapid traffic growth which is required to our information 
society. However, as demand is increased and technology has developed, we have realized that there is a fundamental limit 
to fiber capacity. In this paper report we present a comprehensive review of how the MAC protocol is used to enhance the 
capacity in optical fiber networks. For this we have studied basics of optical fiber networks by considering different layers of 
protocol stack in optical network and their research challenges.   The purpose of this project is to find the performance analysis 
of fiber optics network from MAC Layer perspective. In this project we would like to propose a hybrid MAC Protocol based 
on aloha, slotted aloha, and TDM structure to improve the channel capacity with resource optimization. Frame based structure 
of proposed MAC protocol not only helps us to manage on demand traffic but also increases the energy efficiency. We would 
like to present the thorough numerical and simulation results to back our proposed idea
