This article proposes a time-division multiplexing passive optical network (TDM-PON)
architecture in which optical network units (ONUs) enter active mode only when the optical …

Passive Optical Networks (PONs) are widely adopted as the last-mile technology due to the
large bandwidth capacity it provides to end users. In addition, PON is viewed as a green …

This paper proposes an energy-saving passive optical network framework (ESPON) that
aims to incorporate optical network unit (ONU) sleep/doze mode into dynamic bandwidth …

In this paper, we characterize the energy-saving scheme for the 10 Gigabit-class PON
systems discussed in FSAN/ITU-T and IEEE 802.3 av. Sleep mode is used to reduce the …

We propose and demonstrate an efficient power‐saving optical network unit (ONU) based
on upstream traffic monitoring for 10‐Gb/s wavelength division multiplexed passive optical …

This article provides an overview of current efforts in reducing energy consumption in
passive optical access networks. Both ITU-T and IEEE standardized PONs are considered …

Environmental concerns have motivated network designers to further reduce energy
consumption of access networks. This paper focuses on reducing the energy consumption of …

For the first time, to the best of our knowledge, an energy-efficient framework that optimizes
the number of active wavelengths and uses sleep/doze mode to improve the energy savings …

Power efficiency will be one of the primary factors dictating the choice of future network
deployments. Passive Optical Networks (PONs) in general consume less power and are well …

A TDM Passive Optical Network (TDM-PON) proposes the use of sleep modes for Optical
Network Units (ONUs) to maximize Energy Efficiency (EE). When an ONU manages a sleep …
