For an efficient bandwidth management among the optical network units in the upstream link
of a passive optical network (PON), it is necessary to use a dynamic bandwidth assignment …

In this paper, we present a novel dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) scheme for future
generation passive optical networks (PON) in order to meet the beyond 5G (B5G) and sixth …

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 …

In this paper, we propose a Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation (DBA) algorithm for NG-PON2 to
support both 5G fronthaul services and data services able to cope with the delay …

Rapidly growing and fluctuating traffic demands lead to unbalanced traffic scenarios in
optical access networks, which have an impact on network efficiency. Thus, the flexible …

The extended network span of next-generation long-reach passive optical networks (LR-
PONs) results in extremely long propagation delays that severely degrade the performance …

Dynamic bandwidth allocation and grant scheduling are important factors when designing
passive optical networks. In this paper, we investigate the problem of optimal scheduling …

Integration of Ethernet passive optical network (EPON) and WiMAX technologies is regarded
