Passive optical networks (PONs) are an important and interesting technology for broadband
access as a result of the growing demand for bandwidth over the past 10 years. An arduous …

The deployment of passive optical networks (PONs) is slow today, especially in Europe,
because completely new optical infrastructures are necessary to be installed in the last-mile …

In this paper, we propose a mathematical model for long reach Passive Optical Networks
(PON) planning. The model considers the traffic demand, user requirements and physical …

This letter proposes a simple greedy algorithm and three of its variants for the passive
optical network (PON) deployment on an arbitrary grid. The algorithms guarantee a result of …

The large investments required for deploying passive optical networks (PONs) render the
disposal of appropriate planning tools for designing such networks in a cost-effective way a …

In order to meet the bandwidth requirements for the access network, many network
operators nowadays have been rapidly expanding their fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) service …

In this paper a genetic algorithm is used as a tool for topology searching and splitter
placement in Passive Optical Networks. In order to apply such approach, a graph …

We propose a novel network design optimization scheme for greenfield wavelength division
multiplexed (WDM) passive optical networks (PONs). For a given OLT and of a set of ONUs …

The steady increase in the demand for broadband services and the consequent increase in
the volume of generated traffic in our communication networks have motivated the need to …
