We present an optimal utility-based bandwidth allocation scheme for VoD services over an
experimental integrated optical and wireless broadband network. We formulate the problem …

An uplink access scheme for the Ethernet passive optical network (EPON), called broadcast
polling (BP), has been proposed. In the BP scheme, the optical line terminal (OLT) knows all …

The Ethernet passive optical network provides broadband Internet access but also
consumes a lot of energy. Energy saving mechanisms using the dual-mode—Active and …

Feature Issue on Optical Access Networks (OAN) The Ethernet passive optical network
(EPON) is a technology viewed as an attractive solution to the" last mile" problem. The …

Passive optical network (PON) is a popular technology, in recent days, which can be merged
with peer-to-peer (P2P) network architecture. In P2P architecture, there is no need for a …

In this paper, an (ONU-load and RTTs)-based (OLR) dynamic wavelength and bandwidth
allocation (DWBA) algorithm for upstream channel in next-generational Ethernet passive …

Next-generation Ethernet passive optical networks (NG-EPON) allow optical network unit
(ONU) transmission scheduling concurrently on multiple wavelengths. This increases the …

We propose a new Internet group management protocol (IGMP) which can be used in
passive optical network (PON) especially for IPTV services which dramatically reduces the …

Ethernet passive optical networks (EPONs) are being designed to deliver multiple services
and applications, such as voice communications, standard and high-definition video (STV …

Recently, PON has been increasingly utilized in research and industry. PON mainly includes
Ethernet PON (EPON) and broadband PON (BPON) used in asynchronous transfer mode …
