Regardless of the context to which it is applied, sharing resources is well-recognized for its
considerable benefits. Since 5G networks will be service-oriented, on-demand, and highly …

This paper details the evolution of access network sharing models from legacy DSL to the
most recent fibre-based technology and the main challenges faced from technical and …

The development of Multi-access edge computing (MEC) has resulted from the requirement
for supporting next generation mobile services, which need high capacity, high reliability …

Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualisation (NFV) have
recently changed the way we operate networks. By decoupling control and data plane …

Over the past decade, network operators worldwide have regarded passive optical networks
(PONs) as a successful access network system and the preferred technology for fiber-to-the …

In this paper, we address the sharing incentive issue in multi-tenant passive optical networks
(PONs). We propose an economic-robust and efficient sharing platform for new emerging …

A fronthaul (FH) link based on a time-division multiplexing passive optical network (TDM-
PON) has received attention because it is highly cost effective. The uplink transmission has …

High up-front capital expenditures impede the widespread deployment of passive optical
networks (PONs). A multi-tenant solution, in which multiple network operators virtually share …

We propose a new optical access network concept named “Mini-PON.” This concept
features the separation of passive optical network (PON)-optical line terminal (OLT) …

The worldwide installation of Fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) access network solutions is
hindered by the high upfront cost of deploying ubiquitous fiber infrastructure. While passive …
