Abstract:
Fiber to the home is the most advanced technology for building the next generation of communication networks around the world. FTTH is the most promising technology that can provide high bandwidth with more reliability and very high quality of service compared to the previous type of traditional internet connection technologies such as DSL. There are several open issues and research in the implementation of these networks. Among these research topics, the optimal placement of the ONU is very important because it leads to cost efficiency and resource optimization. Various schemes and optimization algorithms have been implemented and compared to determine the location of the ONU in previous work. In this paper, with the help of linear programming algorithm, a suitable method in terms of speed and accuracy in order to optimize network creation costs according to the proposed model is presented. The results confirm that the proposed method has the best performance in terms of simulation time among the existing algorithms. It is also competitive with other algorithms in terms of cost savings.
