The emerging software defined networking (SDN) paradigm separates the data plane from
the control plane and centralizes network control in an SDN controller. Applications interact …

For many years, passive optical networks (PONs) have received a considerable amount of
attraction regarding their potential for providing broadband connectivity to almost every …

Future 5G services are characterised by unprecedented need for high rate, ubiquitous
availability, ultralow latency, and high reliability. The fragmented network view that is …

Fog computing is an emerging paradigm that aims to improve the efficiency and QoS of
cloud computing by extending the cloud to the edge of the network. This paper develops a …

This manuscript introduces a 5G radio access network architecture concept based on ultra-
dense wavelength division multiplexing (UDWDM) and incorporating an optical fronthaul …

With the advent of 5G, fixed wireless access (FWA) has emerged as a promising candidate
for rolling out fixed broadband services. By means of radio simulations, we define a 5G radio …

High deployment cost with respect to expected revenue is the main barrier to fiber-to-the-
home (FTTH) roll-out in rural areas. This problem, as shown in this paper, is exacerbated by …

Active optical networks (AONs) have been one of the most deployed fiber access solutions
in Europe. However, with the increasing traffic demand, the capacity of the existing AONs is …

Wavelength division multiplexing-based free space optics (WDM FSO) has emerged as a
potential communication network candidate for last-mile access among other applications …

Wind energy is one of the most attractive and one of the fastest growing sources of green
energy in the world. With the expansion of wind parks, there is a growing need for an …
