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 …

The fundamental stability limit and packet delay characteristics of offline scheduling, an
elementary scheduling mechanism in recently proposed dynamic bandwidth allocation …

The “last mile” bandwidth bottleneck problem can be best solved by using Ethernet Passive
Optical Network (EPON). EPON is a promising technology to implement the Fiber To The …

The limited scheme with excess distribution (LS-ED), being a superior grant-sizing protocol
in terms of average delay minimization while providing fairness and quality of service (QoS) …

Long-reach passive optical networks (LR-PONs) have been considered to be promising
solutions for future access networks. In this paper, we propose a distributed medium access …

The authors propose and evaluate the performance of a dynamic bandwidth allocation
algorithm, namely burst‐by‐bUrst dynamic bandwidth allocation (BUDA), which enables the …

The 5G vision is not restricted solely to the wireless domain and its challenging
requirements cannot be fulfilled without the efficient integration of cutting‐edge technologies …

Dynamic circuits are well suited for applications that require predictable service with a
constant bit rate for a prescribed period of time, such as cloud computing and e-science …
