Long-reach Passive Optical Networks (LR-PONs) aim to combine the capacity of metro and
access networks by extending the reach and split ratio of the conventional PONs. LR-PONs …

This paper proposes an efficient bandwidth utilization (EBU) algorithm that utilizes the
unused bandwidth in dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) of a 10‐gigabit‐capable passive …

In this paper, a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller integrated with a neural
network (NN) is proposed to ensure quality of service (QoS) bandwidth requirements in …

Multi-thread polling (MTP) with offline scheduling and offline excess bandwidth distribution
has recently been proposed to overcome the long propagation delay of long-reach passive …

Network utility maximization (NUM) models have been successfully applied to address
multiple resource-allocation problems in communication networks. This paper explores, for …

A new, to the best of our knowledge, scheme for a wavelength division multiplexing passive
optical network (WDM-PON) based on a flat optical frequency comb (OFC) is proposed …

Abstract Passive Optical Networks (PONs) are the most important access architectures since
their deployment is massive all around the world. However, the QoS (Quality of Service) and …

XG-PON requires an effective dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) mechanism for upstream
traffic to support quality of service for different classes of traffic. We propose X-GIANT, which …

Long-Reach (LR) extension is a promising scenario for the future next generation access
networks, enabling less Central Offices (COs) in the field and a large number of customers in …

High utilization is one of the design goals for MPCP-based dynamic bandwidth allocation
(DBA) algorithms in Ethernet passive optical networks (EPON). However, utilization is …
