Abstract | Long-reach hybrid wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) and time-division multiplexing (TDM) passive optical networks (PONs) allow deploying access networks for remote service areas with thousands of customers. Typically, several long fiber cables are run between the central office (CO) of the service provider and each service area in order to feed the service area with data flows. In the service area, array waveguide gratings (AWGs) multiplex and demultiplex wavelengths; then, splitters split wavelengths in order to serve multiple optical network units. This paper proposes use of a mesh topology in service areas, i.e., AWGs can feed each other. This architecture has two main advantages. First, mesh linkages between AWGs make the network structure more robust with a high possibility of integrating survivable schemes. Second, fewer fibers are required between the CO and service areas, leading to a reduction of total length of fiber deployment, with a corresponding reduction of fiber installation and maintenance costs. We support this proposal by showing that i) the proposed architecture is feasible with some modification/combination of conventional PON devices, and ii) while using our optimal and heuristic algorithms for designing survivable long-reach hybrid WDM-TDM PONs, most of these PONs should use the mesh topology in order to minimize the total length of fiber deployment. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
