Ethernet passive optical networks (EPONs) have emerged as one of the most promising
access network technologies. Propelled by rapid price declines in fiber optics and Ethernet …

Upstream dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) for Gigabit Passive Optical Networks (GPON)
is an important design problem since the shared uplink carries many bursty streams of …

In this paper, we investigate power management problems that affect gigabit-capable
passive optical networks (GPONs). In GPONs, the basic principle for power reduction is to …

This paper presents an analysis of existing Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation (DBA) algorithms,
when applied to Long Reach Passive Optical Networks (LR-PON). LR-PONs provide …

An ever-increasing bandwidth demand is the main driver to investigate next-generation
optical access (NGOA) networks. These networks, however, do not only have to comply with …

The optical access networks (OANs) provide an attractive solution to the bandwidth
bottleneck problem of the last mile. However, it has been proved (Baliga et al. in J Lightwave …

The implications of the main components of dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) algorithms
in ethernet passive optical networks, namely grant scheduling framework, grant sizing, and …

In this paper, we propose a novel dynamic bandwidth and wavelength allocation (DBWA)
algorithm that makes use of bin-packing approach resulting in the improved energy …

Power efficiency will be one of the primary factors dictating the choice of future network
deployments. Passive Optical Networks (PONs) in general consume less power and are well …

We propose and demonstrate an efficient power‐saving optical network unit (ONU) based
on upstream traffic monitoring for 10‐Gb/s wavelength division multiplexed passive optical …
