The passive optical network (PON) technology has been drastically improved in recent
years. In spite of using the optical technology, the utilization of the entire bandwidth is a very …

Long-reach Passive Optical Networks (LR-PONs) aim to combine the capacity of metro and
access networks by extending the reach and split ratio of the conventional PONs. LR-PONs …

Quality-of-service (QoS) support in Ethernet passive optical networks is a crucial concern.
We propose a new dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) algorithm for service differentiation …

Software define network, which has good potential for packet-switched IP network, is
currently not available on circuit-switched transport network. This paper introduces the …

The Passive Optical Network (PON) has been evolving continuously in terms of architecture
and capacity to keep up with the demand for high-speed Internet access in the access …

Peer-to-peer (P2P) applications such as P2P video streaming and internet video calling
have gained tremendous popularity and are expected to be vastly increasing in the next few …

The introduction of new services as well as the growth in the number of communication
terminals in the last years has led to an exponential growth of data traffic in both fixed and …

The application of classification techniques based on machine learning approaches to
analyze the behavior of network users has interested many researchers in the last years. In …

Resource allocation is one of the challenges in the time division multiple access (TDM)
passive optical network (PON) area. Much research has been done to find an efficient …

Several dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) algorithms have been proposed for long-reach
passive optical networks (LR-PONs). The gains in the current protocols, however, are …
