Abstract :
The paper describes some relevant solutions for Next Generation Access Network (NGAN, or NGN), considering evolution from copper legacy network to optical access network (PON, Passive Optical Network) and analysing pros and cons of several PON solutions (TDM-PON, WDM-PON, TWDM and OFMD-PON) as well as potential convergence/coexistence scenarios.
