In the last few years, changing infrastructure and business requirements are forcing
enterprises to rethink their networks. Enterprises look for network infrastructures that …

The rapid expansion of Internet traffic shoves the communication networks to optical access
networks for enhancing the transmission information rate. Passive optical network (PON) is a …

By the end of the decade, approximately 50 billion devices will be connected over the
internet using multiple services such as online gaming, ultra-high definition videos, and 5G …

In light of the 5G deployments, edge computing, and future high bandwidth services, the
industry is rethinking the optical access network architecture design. Passive optical network …

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 …

In this chapter, possible architecture enhancements will be discussed, that allow for applying
passive optical networks (s) to a wider range of network scenarios than previously …

Energy efficiency has become an increasingly important aspect of designing access
networks, due to both increased concerns for global warming and increased network costs …

Even if Passive Optical Networks (PONs) have proven to be more energy-efficient that other
access solutions, energy consumption minimization is becoming an important research …

In this paper an overview of the energy consumption of current Passive Optical Network
(PON) devices is first provided. Then where and how to save energy in PONs is discussed …

One of the main challenges of Passive Optical Networks (PONs) is the resource (bandwidth
and wavelength) management. Since it has been shown that access networks consume a …
