Passive optical networks (PONs) offer a high network capacity and densified coverage at the
cost of high capital expenditure. That fact is why operators use a shared infrastructure with …

Passive optical networks are the most promising solution for access networks. Nowadays,
Gigabit passive optical networks are very popular for Internet services providers. These …

This paper summarises how access network sharing has evolved from physical layer
unbundling to fully virtualised architectures. We address one of the crucial question in …

Abstract Passive Optical Networks (PONs) are an economically efficient means of providing
high bandwidth services to end users because end-points can share the cost and the benefit …

Evolution in passive optical access networks concentrate on increasing their capacity that
can be in terms of the number of users served or the data rates served per user. Various …

This paper summarizes our studies on the software implementation of passive optical
network (PON) physical-layer processing to maximize the flexibility of optical access …

As gigabit passive optical networks (GPONs) are currently deployed, the future requires next-
generation passive optical networks (NG-PONs) but the date of full replacement is not …

Passive Optical Networks (PONs) belonging to Infrastructure Providers are usually shared
by diverse customers such as mobile network operators, virtual service providers, and multi …

Passive optical networks (PONs) have been widely used in access networks and are today
the access technology of choice for operators, especially when they need to build new …

For the expansion of networks based on optical transmission media, it is necessary to have
a detailed knowledge of advanced implementations for passive optical systems used in the …
