In order to enable new services that require high data rates over longer distances, the
optical fiber substitutes the copper cable step by step in the access network area. Time …

As optical fibre reaches deeper into passive optical network (PON) in fibre-to-the-x (FTTx)
networks, maintaining the integrity of these networks is indeed imperative. Essentially, best …

As PONs carry increasing amounts of data, issues relating to their protection and
maintenance are becoming crucial. In-service monitoring of the PON's fiber infrastructure is …

So much has been promised by the fifth generation (5G), the revolution of mobile
communications that allows for flexible, speedy, and efficient delivery of unlimited data and …

Network survivability and protection mechanisms are very important and necessary in
optical networks. The long-reach passive optical network (LR-PON) proposed in this paper …

We propose and experimentally demonstrate an integrated passive optical network
monitoring system for fault detection and localization. Fault detection technology is based on …

One of the challenges for Mobile Network Operators (MNO) in 5G deployment is to ensure
reliability in the various sections of the network as the new services and applications, for …

We propose a centralized optical monitoring scheme in a passive optical network based on
the 2-D optical frequency hop**/periodic coding scheme with the network recognition …

The explosive development of emerging telecommunication services has stimulated a huge
growth in bandwidth demand as people seek universal access to telecommunication …

We address the issue of false detections in an optical coding-based PON monitoring
scheme. An analytical expression for the average number of false detections is derived and …
