Abstract

In this paper a genetic algorithm is used as a tool for topology searching and splitter placement in Passive Optical Networks. In order to apply such approach, a graph representation scheme, associated to a street map, is proposed. The formulation has been applied to minimize the amount of optical cabling, number of splitters and power budget, based on standards for the ITU-T GPON parameters.
