Driven by emerging bandwidth-hungry applications, next generation passive optical
networks (NG-PONs) provide higher bandwidth to users by using more wavelengths and …

This paper presents a new passive optical network (PON) architecture that applies an optical
multicast capable switch (OMS) to direct wavelengths to a set of PON branches and enables …

Gigabit-class Passive optical networks (PONs) such as Gigabit PON (G-PON)(/TU-T G. 984
series) and JG-Ethernet PON (EPON)(IEEE 802.3 ah) are currently being deployed …

Abstract Optical Packet Switching (OPS) technologies are among the most promising
solutions for Next Generation Networks. In OPS networks, several mechanisms for Quality of …

In the information technology era, there are relentless needs for networks with extremely
high capacity. Due to the increasing internet usage and upsurge in users, the end users …

QoT-aware resource allocation schemes in multicore fiber networks often emphasize and
consider only the crosstalk, ignoring fiber nonlinearity, ASE noise, and the effects of new …

In all-optical networks with no wavelength conversion, signals must travel on the same
wavelength over possibly very long distances. During transmission, the QoS of signals as …

We propose and test a novel distributed strategy for providing QoS differentiation in an
optical packet metro-network with star topology, which represents a compromise between …

A review is carried out on the traffic characteristics of an optical carrier's OC-192 link, based
on the IP packet size distribution, traffic burstiness and self-similarity. The generalised …

In this paper a proposition for a flexible optical access network is presented. The general
idea of a physical layer over an existing gigabit passive optical network (GPON) …
