Abstract
This letter provides a methodology for planning Passive Optical Networks using the
oversubscription concept and shows its applicability in the dimensioning of 1 Gb/s
access to both basic (i.e. residential) and premium (i.e. business) users with
different service level requirements and activity patterns. We show that only
Next-Generation PON networks can reach a large number of users with acceptable
service levels.
