title = "Optimization of multilayer design for FTTH networks based on geographical information",
abstract = "Due to the explosive growth in Internet traffic, the demand for faster technologies with greater capacities has escalated. The use of Fiber to the Home (FTTH) access networks with very high bandwidth has been chosen by many telecom companies to meet this ever-growing demand. However, poorly designed networks not only can incur very high deployment cost but also high maintenance cost. This drives the need for an automated method by which a cost-effective network design can be achieved. In this paper, we propose a network design scheme, combining exact and heuristic optimization techniques, to solve the Greenfield Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON)/FTTH multi-layer design problem with minimal geographical information input. Results are provided in this paper demonstrating the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed approach.",
