A Hybrid OFDM-TDM Architecture with Decentralized Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation for PONs

One of the major challenges of passive optical networks is to achieve a fair arbitration mechanism that will prevent possible collisions from occurring at the upstream channel when multiple users attempt to access the common fiber at the same time. Therefore, in this study we mainly focus on fair ba...
