The increased propagation delay of future long-reach passive optical networks (LR-PONs) may lead to a significantly increased idle time and delay if optical network units (ONUs) use conventional report-grant mechanisms. Sophisticated and efficient bandwidth allocation mechanisms are required to cope...
