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) …

We propose and compare algorithms to allocate upstream PON capacity, where multiple
virtual operators generate independent frame-level allocation over shared infrastructure. Our …

Infrastructure sharing has always been a core aspect of telecommunications networks,
especially in the access. The move towards resource-demanding services, which are part of …

The realization of open-source-defined wireless networks in the telecommunication domain
is accomplished through the fifth-generation network (5G). In contrast to its predecessors …

This article proposes a novel architecture of a time division multiplexing passive optical
network (TDM-PON) system with general-purpose hardware. The system operates with the …

Disaggregation and Cloudification of Metropolitan Area Networks: impact on Architecture, Cost
and Power Consumption Page 1 978-1-6654-3868-1/21/$31.00 ©2021 IEEE Disaggregation …

The rapid evolution of communication technologies, such as 5G and beyond, relies on
optical networks to support the challenging and ambitious requirements that include both …

This paper proposes the concept of compute resource disaggregation in centralized
softwarised radio access networks. This approach allows individual allocation of processing …

The deployment of the new 5G system and ultra-broadband access networks, on one side,
and the advent of network disaggregation and cloudification paradigms, on the other, are …
