Evolving greenfield passive optical networks
نویسنده
چکیده
We investigate applying an evolutionary algorithm (EA) to the design of a passive optical network (PON). We use three techniques to improve the performance. Firstly, to reduce the risk of sub-optimal convergence, we use a novel genetic encoding. Secondly, we combine the EA with a heuristic to guide the optimisation. Thirdly, we investigate various ways of sub-dividing the problem. We briefly present experiments to demonstrate how the EA performs. The results show the strengths and weaknesses of the various techniques we employ.

Design of physical topology and placement of equipment in a hybrid optical-wireless access network
Due to the emergence of numerous bandwidth-hungry applications, we are motivated to investigate cheaper and faster Internet access solutions to serve in a neighborhood. We concentrate on the convergence of optical and wireless networks for the deployment of Internet access networks so that we can exploit the opportunities of both technologies. We focus on network dimensioning and placement of e...
متن کاملEnhanced Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation Algorithm in Ethernet Passive Optical Networks
Byungjoo Park et al. 301 As broadband access is evolving from digital subscriber lines to optical access networks, Ethernet passive optical networks (EPONs) are considered a promising solution for next generation broadband access. The point-tomultipoint topology of EPONs requires a time-division multiple access MAC protocol for upstream transmission. In this paper, we propose a new enhanced dyn...
