Description
Summary:Fiber To The Home (FTTH) network based on the Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) technology is considered a technology option capable of spreading high-speed Internet. However, the high project cost may make its deployment unfeasible. Given this challenge, we use Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) to propose an Optical Distribution Network (ODN) design in FTTH network. The ODN is a region that links the Central Office (CO) and the User Network (UN), that is, a strategic region that needs additional attention. In the literature so far is rare to find a technical-economic analysis of the ODN problem. Therefore, the novelty of this letter is to adapt the PSO, an efficient and fast strategy to be applied to multivariable functions, within an ODN design with technical and economic criteria. Using system-level simulations, we attest that the proposed algorithm achieves 12% cost reduction from the conventional way.
