The need for high-speed data connection has significantly strained Mobile Network
Operators (MNOs) due to an exponential increase in traffic. Numerous innovative …

As the proportion of time spent by humans in indoor environment increases, it becomes
challenging to maintain good air quality for healthy and productive life. The need to develop …

Due to the long reach of the next-generation passive optical network (PON), the idea of
sharing infrastructure between multiple PON operators has emerged to reduce capital and …

While immersive media services represented by virtual reality (VR) are booming, They are
facing fundamental challenges, ie, soaring multimedia applications, large operation costs …

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 …

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 …

The surging numbers of wireless devices and the accompanying exponential growth of user
traffic have led edge and fog computing to become essential components in future access …

The emergence of diverse network applications demands more flexible and responsive
resource allocation for networks. Network slicing is a key enabling technology that provides …

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 …
