Driven by emerging bandwidth-hungry applications, next generation passive optical
networks (NG-PONs) provide higher bandwidth to users by using more wavelengths and …

The deployment of new 5G services and future demands for 6G make it necessary to
increase the performance of access networks. This challenge has prompted the …

Abstract A Passive Optical Network (PON) does not include any power loss components in
the transmission medium and it is immune to RF interference. Due to these advantages …

Driven by the forthcoming of 5G mobile communications, the all-IP architecture of mobile
core networks, ie evolved packet core (EPC) proposed by 3GPP, has been greatly …

The research initiatives addressed in this thesis are geared towards improving the
performance of passive optical networks (PONs) through the development of advanced …

A variety of dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) algorithms have been proposed to foster
the performance of Ethernet passive optical networks (EPONs). These DBA algorithms use …

In the coming 5G mobile communications era, a huge number of wireless access points will
be densely deployed for networks such as mobile fronthaul and Internet-of-Things networks …

This paper presents a new passive optical network (PON) architecture that applies an optical
multicast capable switch (OMS) to direct wavelengths to a set of PON branches and enables …

A time-division-multiplexed (TDM) passive optical network (PON) that behaves like multiple
point-to-point (P2P) links can support applications with stringent timing requirements while …

Upstream dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) for Gigabit Passive Optical Networks (GPON)
is an important design problem since the shared uplink carries many bursty streams of …
