Increased use of power in telecommunication networks has not only increased the cost of
operation but also increased the carbon footprint and the environmental hazards. In this …

In this work, we present a comparative study of two just-in-time (JIT) dynamic bandwidth
allocation algorithms (DBAs), designed to improve the energy-efficiency of the 10 Gbps …

In this thesis, general overview about PON systems is presented and existing PON
mechanisms and classification are investigated. After, a novel dynamic bandwidth allocation …

Energy efficiency and green communications have become well-established themes for next-
generation communications systems, with specific regard to reducing carbon footprint …

A continual increase in bandwidth consumption stimulates the need for next generation
optical access (NGOA) networks, which should also conform to the societal green agenda …

The rapid deployment of passive optical access networks (PONs) increases the global
energy consumption of networking infrastructure. This paper focuses on the minimization of …

Energy efficiency has become an increasingly important requirement in designing access
networks, both due to increased concerns for global warming and due to increased network …

Passive optical networks (PONs) are a preferred technology for implementing fiber-to-the-
home networks. Though PONs minimize power consumption compared to digital subscriber …

We propose a dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) algorithm for Ethernet passive optical
networks (EPON). The DBA algorithm exploits the sleep mode functionality, where the …

Next-generation passive optical network (PON) has been considered in the past few years
as a cost-effective broadband access technology. With the ever-increasing power saving …
