High up-front capital expenditures impede the widespread deployment of passive optical
networks (PONs). A multi-tenant solution, in which multiple network operators virtually share …

This paper presents the concept of virtual dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA), a method we
propose to virtualize upstream capacity scheduling in passive optical networks (PONs) …

Deploying passive optical networks (PONs) requires substantial investments, despite their
savings compared to point-to-point solutions. Consequently, network-sharing business …

The worldwide installation of Fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) access network solutions is
hindered by the high upfront cost of deploying ubiquitous fiber infrastructure. While passive …

Passive optical networks (PONs) use dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) algorithms to
assign upstream bandwidth for different types of traffic to transmission containers (T-CONTs) …

Abstract Passive Optical Networks (PONs) are an economically efficient means of providing
high bandwidth services to end users because end-points can share the cost and the benefit …

evaluate a resource allocation scheme for time-division multiplexing passive optical …

We propose a virtual-DBA architecture enabling true PON multi-tenancy, giving Virtual
Network Operators full control over capacity assignment algorithms. We achieve …
