Abstract
The growth in demand of bandwidth-intensive services is ever increasing. Telecommunication companies have moved to employing next generation access network architectures to meet the requirements of customers for over a decade. FTTH networks, in particular, have proven to be a cost effective solution for the last mile of access networks. There are many design factors to put into consideration, making the optical network planning design a challenging process. This drives the need for an intelligent network planning system that can minimize both the time and cost for creating a network. In this paper, we consider the design of FTTH GPON network in a greenfield area and we specifically tackle the problem of fiber duct sharing. A hybrid approach, which utilizes Genetic Algorithm and Binary Integer Programming, to solve the problem is detailed. Results are provided in this paper demonstrating the effectiveness and feasibility of such an approach.
