Fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) has been long sought as the ultimate solution to satisfy the
demand for broadband access in the foreseeable future, and offer distance-independent …

Abstract Long-Reach Passive Optical Network (LR-PON) is known as a promising and
economical solution for Next-Generation PON (NG-PON). Survivability is one of the key …

An energy-aware solution for physical-layer reconfigurability in metro-access networks is
presented. The dynamicity of optical switching is introduced in nodes that are perceived as …

Centralized Radio Access Networks (C-RAN) exploiting millimeter wave (mm-wave)
technology in remote radio heads (RRHs) are regarded as a promising approach to satisfy …

The significance of broadband access networks has increased nowadays due to higher
bandwidth demands required by new services. Passive Optical Networks (PONs) are …

Survivability is one of the key issues in fiber-wireless (FiWi) access networks, since network
component failure may cause huge data loss. Especially in the scenario of segment failure …

In this paper, optical code domain reflectometer (OCDR) and optical time domain
reflectometer (OTDR) are used for centralized monitoring and troubleshooting any fault …

This paper regards the application of interpolation tools offered by mathematical morphology
to color images. The approach presented here uses the lexicographic ordering to compare …

Protection to optical network units (ONUs) against failure of their distribution fibers (DFs) in a
long-reach passive optical network (LR-PON) is highly desirable to provide uninterrupted …

In this paper, we propose two novel architectures for the short-reach optical access network
(SR-OAN) and long-reach optical access network (LR-OAN) to provide high bandwidth and …
