Regardless of the context to which it is applied, sharing resources is well-recognized for its
considerable benefits. Since 5G networks will be service-oriented, on-demand, and highly …

This paper details the evolution of access network sharing models from legacy DSL to the
most recent fibre-based technology and the main challenges faced from technical and …

This paper presents the concept of virtual dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA), a method we
propose to virtualize upstream capacity scheduling in passive optical networks (PONs) …

In this paper, we address the sharing incentive issue in multi-tenant passive optical networks
(PONs). We propose an economic-robust and efficient sharing platform for new emerging …

To quickly meet the diverse requirements imposed by emerging new services on optical
access networks, we recently proposed the new concept of “flexible access system …

Resource allocation is a fundamental task in any PON and it is necessary to have an
efficient scheme that reduces delay, maximizes bandwidth usage, and minimizes the …

Abstract Access Networks based on Passive Optical Network (PON) technology can offer
transport services to broadband service providers, such as mobile backhauling/fronthauling …

Infrastructure service providers (InPs) can employ bandwidth sharing to offer new services
and business models to their customers. In this paper, we introduce a dynamic bandwidth …

With the development of passive optical network (PON), multiple PON systems using various
multiplexing technologies can coexist. Virtualization technology is a preferable solution for …

To respond to innovation aspirations from the digital society, networks need to be
significantly more flexible and adjustable. Such flexibility can be achieved through network …
