Abstract

Hybrid TDMA/WDM (TWDM) Passive Optical Network (PON) is a promising candidate for Next-Generation PON (NG-PON) solutions. We propose end-to end reliable architectures for business users and a cost-effective network for residential users. We evaluate the proposed reliable architectures in terms of protection coverage, connection availability, impact of failure (i.e. to avoid a huge number of end users being affected by any single failure) and cost in different populated scenarios.
