This article provides an overview of current efforts in reducing energy consumption in
passive optical access networks. Both ITU-T and IEEE standardized PONs are considered …

Abstract Integration of Passive Optical Network (PON) and wireless network technologies
can offer a high data rate with ubiquitous Internet access to the end-users. Due to the …

This paper proposes a power saving mechanism with variable sleep period to reduce the
power consumed by optical network units (ONUs) in passive optical network (PON) systems …

In this paper, a dynamic wavelength and bandwidth allocation with only Tuning ONU
Buffering (DWBA-TOB) scheme and an OSU-ONU Synchronous Cyclic Sleep (OOCS) sleep …

In this paper, we propose a novel energy efficient solution for TDM Passive Optical Networks
(TDM-PONs), which is a widely used access network technology, to facilitate local customer …

Time and wavelength division multiplexed passive optical network (TWDM-PON) is
considered to be a primary solution for next-generation passive optical network stage 2 (NG …

Access networks must further advance to address the intensification of the requirements of
growing speeds and the usage of Internet applications, and time and wavelength division …

Enormous energy consumption and high latency have been the main issues in broadband
passive optical networks (PONs). Hence, green dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) has …

One of the main challenges of Passive Optical Networks (PONs) is the resource (bandwidth
and wavelength) management. Since it has been shown that access networks consume a …

Next-generation passive optical network (PON) has been considered in the past few years
as a cost-effective broadband access technology. With the ever-increasing power saving …
