We compile and classify the research work conducted for Ethernet passive optical networks.
We examine PON architectures and dynamic bandwidth allocation algorithms. Our …

Next-generation passive optical network (PON) has been considered in the past few years
as a cost-effective broadband access technology. With the ever-increasing power saving …

Building on the Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) and Gigabit PON (GPON)
standards, Next-Generation (NG) PONs (i) provide increased data rates, split ratios …

We analyze the mean packet delay in an Ethernet passive optical network (EPON) with
gated service. For an EPON with a single optical network unit (ONU), we derive (i) a closed …

Feature Issue on Passive Optical Network Architectures and Technologies We describe the
research that has been performed in the field of the dynamic bandwidth allocation algorithm …

Closed-form mathematical expressions of network performances, such as the mean packet
delay, are useful for evaluating a communication network during the design process. This …

Communication networks for healthcare environments support various application types and
should be capable of providing them with the required Quality of Service (QoS) in terms of …

The integration of ethernet passive optical networks (EPONs) and IEEE 802.16 has been
lately presented as a promising candidate for next-generation broadband access. This …

This paper investigates equilibrium threshold balking strategies of customers in a renewal
input batch arrival queue with multiple and single working vacation of the server. The …

The evolution of the Ethernet passive optical network (EPON) to the enhanced 10G-EPON
standard looks poised to maintain its position as the leading fiber to the home technology …
