Enhancing Fiber-to-the-Room (FTTR) Technologies: Addressing Key Challenges and Solutions (Invited Tutorial)

This tutorial focuses on the key technologies and challenges of Fiber-to-The-Room (FTTR). We first introduce various PON and Wi-Fi integration architectures for FTTR, which is followed by efficient bandwidth allocation schemes for these architectures. Finally, to make FTTR “green,” we also discuss various energy-saving strategies for FTTR.
