Background
With the wide deployment of fiber-optic technology over the past
two decades, we have witnessed a tremendous growth of bandwidth capacity in the
backbone networks of today's telecommunications infrastructure. However, access
networks, which cover the "last-mile" areas and serve numerous residential and small
business users, have not been scaled up commensurately. The local subscriber lines
for telephone and cable television are still using twisted pairs and coaxial cables.
Most residential connections to the Internet are still through dial-up modems
operating at a low speed on twisted pairs. As the demand for access bandwidth
increases with emerging high-bandwidth applications, such as distance learning,
high-definition television (HDTV), and video on demand (VoD), the last-mile access
networks have become a bandwidth bottleneck in today's telecommunications
infrastructure. Scope of Contributions
This feature issue aims to present a collection
of papers that focus on the state-of-the-art research in various networking
aspects of optical access networks. Original papers are solicited from all
researchers involved in area of optical access networks. Topics of interest
include but not limited to:
