TL;DR: Several key enabling technologies for hybrid optical-wireless access networks are described, including optical millimeter-wave (mm-wave) generation, upconversion, and transmission in a downlink direction, and full-duplex operation based on wavelength reuse by using a centralized light source in an uplink direction.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a converged WDM-PON architecture for longer reach, higher data rate, and higher spectral efficiency for single-source systems and integrated the integrated schemes with radio-over-fiber (RoF)-based optical-wireless access systems to serve both fixed and mobile users in the converged optical platform.

TL;DR: This paper proposes a methodology for performing automatic protection switching (APS) in optical networks with arbitrary mesh topologies in order to protect the network from fiber link failures.

TL;DR: An ultra-low latency, high throughput Internet protocol (IP) over wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) packet switching technology for next-generation Internet (NGI) applications has been designed and demonstrated.

TL;DR: This paper proposes a novel ethernet over star coupler-based PON architecture that uses a fully distributed time-division multiple-access (TDMA) arbitration scheme and the overall performance of the proposed decentralized EPON architecture and the associated bandwidth allocation algorithms are shown to be at least as efficient as their centralized counterparts.
