In this letter, we present a passive optical network (PON) polling mechanism for services that
require low-latency performance, which achieves delay performance gains reaching 57 …

The increased propagation delay of future long-reach passive optical networks (LR-PONs)
may lead to a significantly increased idle time and delay if optical network units (ONUs) use …

Long-Reach passive optical networks (LR-PONs) suffer from extremely long propagation
delays that degrade the performance of centralized algorithms proposed for upstream …

While in recent years backbone bandwidth has experienced substantial growth, little has
changed in the access network.“Last mile” still remains the bottleneck between a high …

In this paper, optical pulse encoding and decoding technology is proposed to enable real-
time signaling in a passive optical network (PON) setting. Unique optical codes are assigned …

Designing low latency polling schemes is one of the most important parts for passive optical
networks (PONs), particularly for long-reach PONs (LR-PON) which suffer from long …

While in recent years backbone bandwidth has experienced substantial growth, little has

Multi-thread polling (MTP) with offline scheduling and offline excess bandwidth distribution
has recently been proposed to overcome the long propagation delay of long-reach passive …

Several dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) algorithms have been proposed for long-reach
passive optical networks (LR-PONs). The gains in the current protocols, however, are …

A time-division-multiplexed (TDM) passive optical network (PON) that behaves like multiple
