Abstract

We propose a novel network design optimization scheme for greenfield wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) passive optical networks (PONs). For a given OLT and of a set of ONUs, their geographical locations and their corresponding aggregated traffic demand, our proposed BSP (Best Set of PONs) optimization scheme determines the design (location of passive equipment) and dimensioning of the most economical set of PON networks while satisfying unicast/multicast traffic demands and taking into account the signal attenuation constraints.
