The passive optical network (PON) is an optical fiber based network architecture,which can provide much higher bandwidth in the access network compared to traditional copper-based networks. Incorporating wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) in a PO

The analysis of four different WDM-PON architectures is based on the dimensioning (with real building/street distributions based on Open Street Map) in a dense urban scenario. The dimensioning not only includes the required equipment and its powe
