We propose and compare algorithms to allocate upstream PON capacity, where multiple
virtual operators generate independent frame-level allocation over shared infrastructure. Our …

Network virtualization can improve the utilization of a physical network by enabling the
coexistence of multiple virtual networks supporting different services. For an elastic optical …

The relentless increase in network capacity is making it important to reduce power
consumption. In optical access network systems, the buffer size in layer-2 switches, which …

We propose a new dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) method for long reach passive
optical networks (PON) that can shorten upstream latency. In this method, the OLT allocates …

Passive optical networks (PONs) represent one of the most attractive access network
solutions. TDM and WDM techniques are employed in the PON for higher resource …

There has been a large global effort to innovate and design optical access technologies that
can accommodate the requirements emerging from a colossal increase in data rates …

Backhauling base stations with Passive Optical Networks (PONs) besides bringing a new
revenue source for the PON operator, can reduce the cost of installing new base stations for …

Ethernet passive optical networks (EPONs) technology has emerged as a promising
candidate for next-generation broadband access networks. As this technology evolves, the …

In the metro‐access optical network, bandwidth‐allocated mechanism and its algorithm are
proposed for the multi‐subsystem‐based virtual passive optical network (VPON) that can …

Passive Optical Networks (PONs) are a promising architecture for providing broadband
access to the end user and XG-PON is the latest ITU-T PON standard, which provides line …
