Ethernet passive optical network (EPON) is considered one of the best candidates for next-
generation optical access solutions. Practical and cost-effective survivability and …

Abstract Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) is chosen for servicing diverse
applications with higher bandwidth and Quality-of-Service (QoS), starting from Fiber-To-The …

Ever-increasing bandwidth demands on passive optical networks (PONs) are pushing the
utilization of every fiber strand to its limit. This is mandating comprehensive protection until …

In the EPON, any failure of optical line terminal (OLT) or feeder fiber can halt the entire
system. Many previous studies proposed dedicated protection architectures to protect the …

Nowadays, optical networks are becoming dense while detecting faulty branches in the tree-
structured networks has become problematic. Conventional methods are inconvenient as …

WDM-PONs have recently emerged to provide dedicated and separated point-to-point
wavelengths to individual optical network units. In addition, the recently standardized …

This study proposes a novel cost-based fault-tolerant WDM-EPON (CFT-WDM-EPON) to
provide overall protection. It only equips a backup feeder fiber to recover the system failure …

This paper reports a novel physical layer monitoring technique called Centralized Failure
Detection System (CFDS) based on the use of an optical time domain reflectometry (OTDR) …

IEEE Ethernet passive optical networks support the SIEPON-defined data link protection for
mission-critical services in a flexible, costeffective, and reliable manner, addressing the …

A new technique for detecting any faulty fiber and identifying the failure location occurring in
tree-based structured fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) access network with centralized failure …
