In this editorial, we first set the context for the subject matter of this special issue on passive
optical network (PON) supported networking. This context includes a discussion of optical …

Today, triple play services may be regarded as required services in telecommunication
sector. In the access network, Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) is considered as …

High utilization is one of the design goals for MPCP-based dynamic bandwidth allocation
(DBA) algorithms in Ethernet passive optical networks (EPON). However, utilization is …

This paper proposes an energy-saving passive optical network framework (ESPON) that
aims to incorporate optical network unit (ONU) sleep/doze mode into dynamic bandwidth …

The infrastructure to develop the next generation optical access network is the Ethernet
