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

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 …

We propose a dynamic-load-balancing algorithm that is derived using Jain's fairness index.
Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can distribute traffic loads among PON …

WDM/TDM passive optical network (PON) is being viewed as a promising solution for
delivering multiple services and applications, such as high-definition video, video …

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

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

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 …

Next-generation cellular networks, such as 6G, will require high-speed and low-latency
connectivity to support advanced services and applications. Passive Optical Networks …

The passive optical network (PON) is the most promising candidate for supporting multiple
