The most important challenge in an Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) is bandwidth
allocation. This is because it is a mandatory service to satisfy the end users' service level …

Feature Issue on Optical Access Networks (OAN) As an inexpensive, simple, and scalable
solution for broadband access, Ethernet passive optical networks (EPONs) have the …

The tremendous growth in high-bandwidth applications and consequent increase in power
consumption has underscored the importance of energy efficient design strategies for …

To support the fifth-generation bandwidth-hungry applications, such as the Internet of
Things, virtual reality, augmented reality, and cloud computing, elastic optical networks have …

The demand assigned capacity management (DACM) problem in IP over optical (IPO)
network aims at devising efficient bandwidth replenishment schedules from the optical …

In the development of ethernet passive optical networks (EPONs), quality of service (QoS)
support and fairness per optical network unit (ONU) are crucial issues. However, making an …

In this research paper, we propose a novel impairment-aware resource allocation scheme
that increases spectrum efficiency of an elastic optical network (EON), while satisfying the …

In this paper, we present two adaptive schemes, namely, global differentiated availability-
aware provisioning (G-DAP) and link-by-link differentiated availability-aware provisioning …

This paper evaluates different aspects of the performance of a solution for routing and
spectrum allocation in elastic optical networks. The evaluation includes the experimentation …
