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 …

This paper presents the concept of virtual dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA), a method we
propose to virtualize upstream capacity scheduling in passive optical networks (PONs) …

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 …

Wavelength division multiplexing\time division multiplexing passive optical network
(WDM/TDM-PON) is the attractive candidate for PON bandwidth sharing among multiple …

Due to the long reach of the next-generation passive optical network (PON), the idea of
sharing infrastructure between multiple PON operators has emerged to reduce capital and …

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

Infrastructure service providers (InPs) can employ bandwidth sharing to offer new services
and business models to their customers. In this paper, we introduce a dynamic bandwidth …

To respond to innovation aspirations from the digital society, networks need to be
significantly more flexible and adjustable. Such flexibility can be achieved through network …
