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 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 …

Abstract Long-Reach Passive Optical Network (LR-PON) is known as a promising and
economical solution for Next-Generation PON (NG-PON). Survivability is one of the key …

The next-generation passive optical networks (NG-PONs) are expected to offer very high
data rate to large number of users. Long-reach passive optical network (LR-PON) is …

In this paper we propose a novel clustering based multi-hop protection (referred to as
CMHP) heuristic scheme to protect against single shared-risk link group (SRLG) failure in a …

The long-reach passive optical network (LR-PON) is receiving significant research attention
due to its potential in delivering future bandwidth intensive services to a significantly higher …

Ring-and-spur long-reach passive optical network (LR-PON) is the optimal network
architecture for next-generation passive optical network (NG-PON). Several protection …

The higher bandwidth utilization of wavelength-division-multiplexing passive optical
networks (WDM-PONs) can be problematic if the link failure is not repaired in a timely …

Long-reach passive optical networks (LR-PONs) prove to be a suitable candidate for future
broadband access networks. The longer reach of the feeder fiber in a LR-PON enables us to …

In IP-over-WDM networks, protection can be offered at the optical layer or at the IP layer.
Today, it is well acknowledged that synergies need to be developed between the IP and …
