title = "Automation of fiber to the home network design with different types of network elements",
abstract = "With the increase in popularity of bandwidth intensive applications, the telecommunication companies have been driven to find alternatives for the existing digital subscriber line (DSL) infrastructure to meet the requirements of the subscribers. Fiber To The Home (FTTH) networks, based on the Giga Passive Optical Network (GPON) topology, have been proven to be a cost effective solution for a large scale deployment. In this paper, a one-level problem of a typical FTTH network with different types of network elements is presented. A mathematical model using the Binary Integer Programming (BIP) approach is detailed. The model with all the required constraints is solved by an open source solver. Results are provided at the end of the paper demonstrating the feasibility of such approach.",
