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) …

Deploying passive optical networks (PONs) requires substantial investments, despite their
savings compared to point-to-point solutions. Consequently, network-sharing business …

We propose a virtual-DBA architecture enabling true PON multi-tenancy, giving Virtual
Network Operators full control over capacity assignment algorithms. We achieve …

Current network operators are focused mainly on providing and selling network services on
top of the network infrastructures they own and manage. The end user has no control over …

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 …

Optical networks are poised to dominate the access network space in coming years.
Ethernet passive optical networks, which leverage the ubiquity of Ethernet at subscriber …

We propose a novel policy for scheduling upstream flows in Ethernet passive optical
networks. This policy, called proportional sharing with load reservation (PSLR), provides …

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