The Ethernet passive optical network (EPON) is an emerging technology for the next-
generation broadband access networks and is considered an up-to-date candidate network …

This paper presents a 1.25-Gb/s burst-mode receiver (BMRx) for upstream transmission over
gigabit passive optical networks (G-PONs). The dc-coupled receiver uses a unique …

This paper proposes a methodology for planning Passive Optical Networks (PONs) based
on the concept of visibility graphs. The said concepts are incorporated in a PON planning …

ABSTRACT Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) has long been recognized as a technology that
provides future proof bandwidth [1], but has generally been too expensive to implement on a …

This paper addresses QoS provision in the presence of the regulatory threat of network
neutrality. We formulate a technological implementation that enables QoS provision while …

Optical line terminals (OLTs) and number of optical network units (ONUs) are two main parts
of passive optical network (PON). OLT is placed at the central office of the service providers …

This paper presents a physical layer performance evaluation of an Ethernet Passive Optical
Network (EPON) upgraded to 10 Gbit/s transmission data rate, considering both …

Today's and future delay-sensitive applications, such as connected vehicles, smart grids,
smart cities, and Internet of things (IoT) applications generate tremendous amount of data …

(BMRx) for upstream transmission over gigabit passive optical networks (G-PONs). The dc-
coupled receiver uses a unique arrangement of three limiting amplifiers to convert the bursty …
