Current Gigabit-class passive optical networks (PONs) evolve into next-generation PONs,
whereby high-speed 10+ Gb/s time division multiplexing (TDM) and long-reach wavelength …

This book focuses on various Passive optical networks (PONs) types, including currently
deployed Ethernet PON (EPON) and Gigabit PON (GPON) as well as next generation WDM …

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 …

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 …

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

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 …

The increased propagation delay of future long-reach passive optical networks (LR-PONs)
may lead to a significantly increased idle time and delay if optical network units (ONUs) use …

This paper proposes a cyclic sleep control scheme on the basis of the queue length (QL)
information for energy-efficient passive optical network (PON) systems to cope with …

A wide array of dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) mechanisms have recently been
proposed for improving bandwidth utilization and reducing idle times and packet delays in …

We propose a new dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) method for long-reach passive
optical networks that can reduce the upstream latency. With this method, an optical line …
