As optical fibre reaches deeper into passive optical network (PON) in fibre-to-the-x (FTTx)
networks, maintaining the integrity of these networks is indeed imperative. Essentially, best …

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 …

The next-generation passive optical networks (NG-PONs) are expected to offer very high
data rate to large number of users. Long-reach passive optical network (LR-PON) is …

In a long-reach passive optical network (LR-PON), protection for optical network units
(ONUs) against their distribution fiber (DF) failures is highly desirable to ensure …

Ever-increasing bandwidth demands on passive optical networks (PONs) are pushing the
utilization of every fiber strand to its limit. This is mandating comprehensive protection until …

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 …

The rise in users on the Passive Optical Network (PON) has made the architecture of this
network increasingly complex with a growing point-to-multi-point (P2MP) network. Thus …

Future access networks need to withstand high traffic demand of users as well as to ensure
certain degree of reliability to data transmission against network failures. Long-reach …

In this paper we propose a novel clustering based multi-hop protection (referred to as
CMHP) heuristic scheme to protect against single shared-risk link group (SRLG) failure in a …
