Deploying passive optical networks (PONs) requires substantial investments, despite their
savings compared to point-to-point solutions. Consequently, network-sharing business …

This paper presents the concept of virtual dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA), a method we
propose to virtualize upstream capacity scheduling in passive optical networks (PONs) …

High up-front capital expenditures impede the widespread deployment of passive optical
networks (PONs). A multi-tenant solution, in which multiple network operators virtually share …

The worldwide installation of Fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) access network solutions is
hindered by the high upfront cost of deploying ubiquitous fiber infrastructure. While passive …

We propose a virtual-DBA architecture enabling true PON multi-tenancy, giving Virtual
Network Operators full control over capacity assignment algorithms. We achieve …

Feature Issue on Passive Optical Network Architectures and Technologies We propose and
evaluate a resource allocation scheme for time-division multiplexing passive optical …

Long Reach Passive Optical Networks (LR-PON) concept is offered as a cost-efficient
solution to bring the fiber to the Home, Office, Curb, Building etc.(FTTX). It extends the reach …

Abstract Passive Optical Networks (PON) have emerged as an important fiber-based access
network alternative to DSL, Cable, and other access networks. Some of the limitations of …

Optical networks are poised to dominate the access network space in coming years.
