Description
Summary:The use of automated network planning systems is crucial for reducing the deployment cost and planning time of passive optical telecommunication networks. Mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) is well suited for the purpose of modeling passive optical networks; however, excessive computing times for solving large-scale problem instances render these approaches impractical. This research presented a formulation that was based on MILP. It is for the issue of optimum dimensions of fiber equipment of the FTTH optical-access network (FTTH-OANs). The key objective is to minimize the capital expenditure associated with the implementation of FTTH-OAN, i.e. the expense of passive and active tools (splices, fiber terminations, closures, cables, optical splitters, and OLT cards, etc.) site planning costs and the cost of labor needed. This formulation is installed and tested. The key results are derived from practical physical systems installed in homes.
