Since light-paths are the basic connections in wavelength routed networks, their effective
establishment is very important. Routing and Wavelength Assignment (RWA) techniques …

Optical system management software has been migrating toward software-defined
networking (SDN) methods and interfaces. The increased programmability of SDN promises …

In the present day, the evaluation of machine learning (ML) as a candidate for substituting
analytical quality of transmission (QoT) estimators is done in a compartmentalized way. The …

A comprehensive analysis and survey of the optical performance monitoring (OPM) is
provided towards the deployment of translucent/transparent optical networks. OPM …

While new SDN control planes promise to provide faster and more dynamic provisioning of
optical paths, mis-estimation of optical signal to noise ratio (OSNR) is still an issue that …

Interest of an adaptive margin for the Quality of Transmission estimation for lightpath establishment

Disaggregating optical communication systems can impact physical layer control. Recent
progress on multi-domain transmission control and machine-learning provide capabilities for …

This paper considers the design and dimensioning of translucent optical networks based on
the concept of optical transparent islands. In systems with dispersion compensation …

The transmission reach of signals in optical transmission systems is limited. To go beyond
these transparent reach limits, signal regeneration is necessary to re-amplify, re-shape, and …

A vertical perspective, ranging from management and routing to physical layer options,
concerning dynamic network monitoring and compensation of impairments (M&C), is given …
