The rapid deployment of passive optical access networks (PONs) increases the global
energy consumption of networking infrastructure. This paper focuses on the minimization of …

We propose an energy-efficient dynamic bandwidth allocation (EE-DBA) in an Ethernet
passive optical network. In the proposed EE-DBA, the eligibility of optical network units …

Bandwidth allocation is one of the critical issues in Ethernet passive optical networks
(EPONs). To achieve good network performance and thus provide guaranteed network …

Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) has been widely considered as a promising
technology for implementing the FTTx solutions to the “last mile” bandwidth bottleneck …

In this work, we present a comparative study of two just-in-time (JIT) dynamic bandwidth
allocation algorithms (DBAs), designed to improve the energy-efficiency of the 10 Gbps …

Ethernet passive optical networks (EPONs) technology has emerged as a promising
candidate for next-generation broadband access networks. As this technology evolves, the …
