The Passive optical network (PON) has opened new avenues for the provisioning of very
high bandwidths per user through a pure optical fiber based Access Network. However …

Medium access control (MAC) is one of the most crucial issues in the design of Ethernet
passive optical networks (EPONs). To prevent data from collision in the upstream direction …

Medium access control (MAC) is one of the most crucial issues in Ethernet passive optical
networks (EPONs). To prevent data of different optical network units (ONUs) from collision in …

The first 72 hours of any disaster relief are critical for saving lives, and are thus referred to as
the “golden 72 hours”. In order to extend the optical network unit (ONU) lifetime beyond 72 …

In a 10-gigabit-capable passive optical network (XGPON) system, a power management
function such as cyclic sleep mode can be implemented to increase energy efficiency of an …

The majority of the traffic over the Internet is TCP based, which is very sensitive to packet
loss and delay. Existing research efforts in TDM-Passive Optical Networks (TDM-PONs) …

Reducing power consumption in an access network has become an increasingly imperative
design goal, due to the fact that information and telecommunication technologies contribute …

With the increasing concern over the energy expenditure due to rapid ICT expansion and
growth of Internet traffic volume, there is a growing trend towards developing energy-efficient …

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 …

Ethernet passive optical networks (EPONs) have emerged as one of the most promising
access network technologies. Propelled by rapid price declines in fiber optics and Ethernet …
