In order to enable new services that require high data rates over longer distances, the
optical fiber substitutes the copper cable step by step in the access network area. Time …

As optical fibre reaches deeper into passive optical network (PON) in fibre-to-the-x (FTTx)
networks, maintaining the integrity of these networks is indeed imperative. Essentially, best …

Although several books cover the coding theory of wireless communications and the
hardware technologies and coding techniques of optical CDMA, no book has been …

Building on the Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) and Gigabit PON (GPON)
standards, Next-Generation (NG) PONs (i) provide increased data rates, split ratios …

Network survivability and protection mechanisms are very important and necessary in
optical networks. The long-reach passive optical network (LR-PON) proposed in this paper …

Passive optical networks (PONs) have become a promising broadband access network
solution thanks to their wide bandwidth, low-cost deployment and maintenance, and …

We propose and experimentally demonstrate an integrated passive optical network
monitoring system for fault detection and localization. Fault detection technology is based on …

The Encyclopedia of Image Processing presents a vast collection of well-written articles
covering image processing fundamentals (eg color theory, fuzzy sets, cryptography) and …

We propose a centralized optical monitoring scheme in a passive optical network based on
the 2-D optical frequency hopping/periodic coding scheme with the network recognition …

This work proposes an adaptive auto-tuning distributed power control strategy aided by
proportional-integral-derivative (PID) and by Adaline artificial neural network (AANN) …
