Abstract
Gigabit passive optical network (GPON) has evolved into large data provider technique. Analysis of network-generated data
is critical for efficient fault diagnosis and self-configuration in GPON. Machine learning-based data analytics technologies
could be significant in analyzing the performance of these kinds of optical networks. So, a machine learning approach for
estimating the performance of GPON is proposed in this paper. A dataset containing fiber length, transmission power, the
number of power splitters, line width, and extinction ratio factors has been created in this work to assess the Q factor value
for a specific optical network. Then, the relief attribute evaluation technique is used to pick fiber length, transmission power,
and the number of power splitters from among given parameters. For predicting different levels of Q factor, these specific
parameters are supplied into a regression-based tree classification model. This paper considers logistic regression,
decision tree, decision table, PART, and random forest algorithms for estimating the performance of GPON. As per the
simulation findings of the present work, the proposed regression-based tree classification technique gives an effectual
approximation of the Q factor with the accuracies of 93.8 % and 96.41% for seven-class and three-class cases respectively.
As a result, the proposed approach appears to be a good fit for accurately estimating the performance of GPON.
