The Passive Optical Network (PON) is an attractive solution for high-bandwidth access
networks. In the context of a broadband access network, the term open access implies the …

In modern, competitive, and dynamic access networks the underlying bandwidth distribution
mechanism has to be capable of understanding user requirements, meeting stringent quality …

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 …

In this paper, we address the sharing incentive issue in multi-tenant passive optical networks
(PONs). We propose an economic-robust and efficient sharing platform for new emerging …

Network utility maximization (NUM) models have been successfully applied to address
multiple resource-allocation problems in communication networks. This paper explores, for …

The Ethernet passive optical network (EPON) has recently attracted more and more
research attentions since it can be a perfect candidate for next generation access networks …

We examine proactive network optimization in reconfigurable optical networks based on
traffic predictions. Specifically, the fair spectrum allocation (SA) problem is examined for a …

In this paper, a fair resource allocation mechanism based on user satisfaction in multiple
optical line terminal (multi-OLT) virtual passive optical network (VPON) is proposed. By …

While backbone networks have experienced substantial changes in the last decade, access
networks have not changed much. Recently, passive optical networks (PONs) seem to be …

Packet-based optical access ring is becoming a promising solution in metropolitan networks.
Its performance depends mainly on how optical resource sharing takes place among the …
