This paper is tackling the issue that stem from the coexistence of diverse technologies, such
as emerging OFDMA-PON and WiMAX/LTE, within the same infrastructure. It outlines the …

The ACCORDANCE OFDMA-PON architecture has been proposed as an attractive
candidate for next generation PON networks. The benefits brought by this concept include …

The interoperability of wireless and PON networking solutions is investigated to reduce
deployment expenditure by means of centralised network management while providing …

The results of the analysis of the COCONUT (“COst-effective COhereNt Ultra-dense-WDM-
PON for λ-to-the-user access”) project architectures with respect to their associated cost …

While the idea of wavelength-division multiplex passive optical network (WDM-PON) has
been around for many years, it has never been taken up in a significant way, mostly due to a …

In this work we propose a new unified PON-RAN architecture for LTE mobile backhaul
networks, employing ring-based WDM PONs. The proposed architecture supports dynamic …

This paper demonstrates the feasibility of an architecture that consolidates a number of
deployed Passive Optical Network (PON) infrastructures into a long-reach, high-split ratio …

Five basic requirements have been defined for the COCONUT ultra-dense WDM PON
architecture:(1) untouched optical distribution network,(2) no active components,(3) no …

Summary form only given. The massive roll-out of mobile broadband, driven by tablets and
smart phones, put tough requirements on the backhaul capacity which quickly become a …

The performance of the bidirectional transmission of a bundle of OFDM-based signals
providing integrated wireless and wired services in next generation long-reach PONs is …
