Survivability models for radio-over-fiber passive optical networks (RoF-PON)/PON

In this paper, we will propose some models for PON/RoF-PON combines a number of ideas used before in the research papers, the ITU-U recommendations and also a number of novel models. We compare between those proposed models by using the Expected Survivability Function; a simple and intelligent tool to evaluate network survivability. The analysis was done for different number of simultaneous faults (fiber cuts). We focused this research on our novel millimeter-waveband (mm-WB) RoF system architecture for wireless services.
