Considerations on performance, cost and power consumption of candidate 100G EPON architectures

EXPLOR – A Novel Holistic Numerical Platform for Converged Optical-Wireless B5G Networks

“…The platform will also include models for techno-economy, nonlinear transmission, pulse shaping, advanced modulation/multiplexing and mmwave generation schemes. State of the art PON simulation toolset will thereafter be extended by including newly developed multi-flow SD transmitter modules designed for consideration of modular pooling approach, and related system level cost/performance evaluation models [32], [33]. Following previously established reference scenarios and requirements, in-house available link level simulation tools will be integrated with the PON toolset towards novel holistic model for joint consideration of OFH, B5G femtocell and C-RAN paradigms.…”

Optical power dimensioning for a multi‐PON architecture featuring light‐source centralising based on polarisation multiplexing

“…Particularly, PONs are an efficient way to deploy optical networks in terms of power consumption and economic costs without sacrificing QoS [8]. This leads to a recent global concern related to the environmental impact of the IT industry, and how to reduce its adverse effects on the environment without sacrificing QoS and performance [9].…”

Design and feasibility of thermally tuned thin film filters for NG-PON2 system applications

“…Therefore, it is essential to drive down the cost of the NG-PON2 transceivers, namely by using affordable and effective filtering solutions, compliant with the current standards but flexible enough to enable upgrades in future PON transceivers. As standardization requirements evolve along with the cost/quality of state-of-the-art system components resulting in reduced tolerances towards previously standardised criteria, the relevance of cost/complexity, stability and tuning time performance of optical filtering is ever more pronounced [5].…”
