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 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 …

With the tremendous growth of broadband IP services, the impact of bandwidth bottleneck in
access network becomes more prominent and largely restricts the network carriers to …

This work proposes a resilient wheel-based wavelength-division-multiplexed passive optical
network optical access network architecture for backhauling network traffic. This proposed …

This paper introduces OCLDN, an agile, programmable, and scalable optical cloud
distribution network, which exploits content distribution networks to deliver killer cloud and …

Long-Reach optical access is a promising proposal for future access networks. This
technology can enable broadband access for a large number of customers in the …

Dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) is an open and hot topic in the Ethernet passive optical
network (EPON), which is regarded as one of the best choices for next-generation access …

Given the growing need for high-speed access networks with reliable service delivery and
lifeline support, fiber-based access rapidly becomes the prevailing solution around the …

Ethernet-based Passive optical network (E-PON) is the key for next generation access
networks. It must have the property of high efficiency, low cost, and support quality of service …

Abstract The hybrid Wireless-Optical Broadband Access Network (WOBAN) provides a new
and promising architecture for broadband access network by combining the beneficial …
