network, has attracted intensive research interest and enjoyed significant growth in its …

This article reviews the main thrusts in next-generation passive optical network 1 and 2
technologies that enable short-term evolutionary and long-term revolutionary upgrades of …

Smart grid applications, such as teleprotection, synchrophasors, remote condition
monitoring, and control of assets, require timely and reliable data communication systems …

The increased propagation delay of future long-reach passive optical networks (LR-PONs)
may lead to a significantly increased idle time and delay if optical network units (ONUs) use …

This paper addresses the problem of providing absolute delay variation guarantees in
passive optical networks and their optical coding enhanced counterparts. We analyze the …

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 …

In this paper, a code division multiple access (CDMA) enabled dynamic bandwidth
allocation (CDBA) algorithm is proposed for the upstream access scheme for Ethernet …

Multiclass systems with different quality of service (QoS) requirements are essential in
today's Ethernet passive optical networks (EPONs). In this paper, we propose a code …

In this paper, we explore a low-cost and quality-of-service (QoS)-aware long-reach optical
backhaul for the wireless and fiber-to-the-x (FTTx) networks. We exploit the reserved and …

OCDMA over conventional TDM PON leads to increase access network capacity by
multiplexing TDM signals with OCDMA codes. We propose a novel sourceless ONU for …
