The large demand of bandwidth due to new and future applications from services being
implemented such as smart grid (SG), smart cities (SC), and the Internet of Things has …

This article presents a novel model of mixed integer linear programming (MILP) to conduct
network planning (Fiber‑Wireless‑FiWi) that along a timeline space facilitates growth …

Nowadays, growth in demand for bandwidth, due to new and future applications being
implemented, for services provided from smart grids (SG), smart cities (SC) and internet of …

As optical networks become increasingly flexible and software driven, network operators
need to reconsider their present mode of network planning and operation, which traditionally …

The deploying of FiWi networks is a problem that occurs often in real situations and requires
is simplified through optimal planning. For this work we considered a scenario of urban …

This paper shows that the main challenge in remotely configurable optical networks lies in
how networks should be designed and sized for dynamic traffic in the face of uncertain …

Hybrid fiber-wireless (FiWi) networks, which benefit from high bandwidth and ubiquitous
access of optical and wireless networks, have been identified as a promising technology …

Communication networks are often partitioned into tiers to provide a convenient framework
for their optimization, graceful growth, and evolution. We extend the application of the …

Incremental planning is performed periodically to decide how a backbone optical network
has to be updated to serve the forecast traffic during the next planning period. Based on …

The common practice in optical networks is to deploy them statically in a future proof
approach and to operate them with only traffic/fault driven changes. Lightpaths are …
