We compile and classify the research work conducted for Ethernet passive optical networks.
We examine PON architectures and dynamic bandwidth allocation algorithms. Our …

We discuss a wavelength-division-multiplexed-based passive-optical-network (PON)
architecture that allows for incremental upgrade from single-channel time-division multiple …

WDM EPONs not only allow for cautious pay-as-you-grow upgrades of single-channel TDM
EPONs but also avoid linearly increasing polling cycle times for an increasing number of …

This book focuses on various Passive optical networks (PONs) types, including currently
deployed Ethernet PON (EPON) and Gigabit PON (GPON) as well as next generation WDM …

We investigate optical network unit (ONU) grant scheduling techniques for multichannel
Ethernet passive optical networks (EPONs), such as wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) …

Two general approaches have been followed for solving the problem of upstream grant
scheduling and wavelength assignment in hybrid WDM/TDMA EPON networks, ie the offline …

Multi-thread polling (MTP) with offline scheduling and offline excess bandwidth distribution
has recently been proposed to overcome the long propagation delay of long-reach passive …

The characteristics of traffic in core networks have changed in recent years, with the data
flows among network nodes now showing large volumes but also large fluctuations during …

Owing to the high bandwidth provisioning, hybrid wavelength division multiplexing/time
division multiplexing (WDM/TDM) passive optical network (PON) is becoming an attractive …

We explore the problem of bandwidth management for the evolutionary upgrade of WDM
EPONs. We divide the bandwidth management problem into two subproblems:(1) grant …
