With steady traffic volume growth in the core networks, it is predicted that the future optical network communication will be constrained mainly by the power consumption. Hence, for future internet sustainability, it will be a mandate to ensure power-efficiency in the optical networks. Two paradigms known to support both, the traffic heterogeneity and high bandwidth requests are the: (i) next generation flexible (or elastic) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) based networks which provide flexible bandwidth allocation per wavelength, and (ii) currently deployed mixed-line-rate (MLR) based networks which provision the co-existence of 10/40/100 Gbps on varied wavelengths within the same fiber. In this work, the power-efficiency of an OFDM, and a MLR based network has been compared for which, a mixed integer linear program (MILP) model has been formulated considering deterministic traffic between every network source-destination pair. The simulation results show that in regard to power-efficiency, the OFDM based network outperforms the MLR based network.

AbstractPassive optical network (PON) supported orthogonal frequency division multiplexing is a network that is designed for subsequent generation of optical networks. During this work, the proposed algorithm consists of neurofuzzy rules which update and control the minimum bandwidth allocation granularity \left( g \right). In order to improve the quality of service, a biogeography-based optimization algorithm is introduced and a new fitness function is proposed which reduces the round trip time by enhancing the distribution scaling factor. Hence, the proposed work reduces the jitter and increases the throughput of the PON for fixed g = 1 which enhances the network performance by 3.4 % and 1.23 %, respectively.

AbstractPassive optical network (PON)-supported orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing is viewed as a capable answer designed for subsequent generation optical networks in terms of traffic coloring when integrated with monarch butterfly optimization (MBO). Traffic coloring optimization (TCO) or MBO algorithmic rule solves the matter of controlling the traffic, began by end-user transceivers with multiple parameters through rescheduling transmission capacity and bandwidth allocation strategy of the optical network, which are done by means of its operator functions. The TCO method with granularity adjustment components outcome signifies an improvement in quality of service as it reduces jitter and increases throughput in PON by 350 µs and 12.5 %, respectively. It even improves the blocking probability and fairness index.

In the existing studies on Mixed Line Rate (MLR) optical networks, the network design methodology is based on the assumption of deterministic traffic, and hence, the effect of traffic uncertainty on the design of an MLR network remains an open problem of research. In this study, we upgrade our previously proposed cost-efficient mixed integer linear program (MILP) formulation for an MLR network, which considered a specific mean traffic for every network source-destination pair. Our upgraded model employs an optimization technique to account for the traffic uncertainties that an actual MLR optical network may encounter. Our simulation results show that (i) if the MLR network is cost-optimized under the assumption that approximately 10-20% of the demands are at their maximum (or peak) value then, the network demonstrates robustness to traffic peaks in approximately all the other demands, and (ii) the saturation of network cost for a number of source-destination pairs is network topology dependent.

Objective: Optical networks exploit the Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) to meet the ever-growing bandwidth demands of upcoming communication applications. This is achieved by dividing the enormous transmission bandwidth of fiber into smaller communication channels. The major problem with WDM network design is to find an optimal path between two end users and allocate an available wavelength to the chosen path for the successful data transmission. Methods: This communication over a WDM network is carried out through lightpaths. The merging of all these lightpaths in an optical network generates a virtual topology which is suitable for the optimal network design to meet the increasing traffic demands. But, this virtual topology design is an NP-hard problem. This paper aims to explore Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) framework to solve this design issue. Results: The comparative results of the proposed and existing mathematical models show that the proposed algorithm outperforms with the various performance parameters. Conclusion: Finally, it is concluded that network congestion is reduced marginally in the overall performance of the network.

AbstractFlexible optical networks require reconfigurable devices with operation on a wavelength range of several tens of nanometers, hitless tuneability (i.e. transparency to other channels during reconfiguration), and polarization independence. All these requirements have not been achieved yet in a single photonic integrated device and this is the reason why the potential of integrated photonics is still largely unexploited in the nodes of optical communication networks. Here we report on a fully-reconfigurable add-drop silicon photonic filter, which can be tuned well beyond the extended C-band (almost 100 nm) in a complete hitless (>35 dB channel isolation) and polarization transparent (1.2 dB polarization dependent loss) way. This achievement is the result of blended strategies applied to the design, calibration, tuning and control of the device. Transmission quality assessment on dual polarization 100 Gbit/s (QPSK) and 200 Gbit/s (16-QAM) signals demonstrates the suitability for dynamic bandwidth allocation in core networks, backhaul networks, intra- and inter-datacenter interconnects.

Today, telecommunication operators are facing an epochal challenge due to the need of higher reconfigurability, flexibility, and dynamicity for their networks. In the latest years, this necessity has been addressed by the introduction of Software-Defined Networking (SDN), mainly in the fields of data centers and core networks. The present work introduces a unified metro-access optical network architecture based on some features inspired by SDN models. The essential aim is to enable bandwidth shared among different passive optical networks (PONs) in order to achieve higher adaptability to increasingly migratory and volatile traffic patterns. Even if the present work is mainly focused on the architecture, several hints for specific implementation of the network nodes are detailed as well in order to demonstrate its feasibility. Several numerical simulations have been performed to assess the performance of the proposed solution both about physical effects and about quality of service. Bit error ratio degradation due to physical impairments has been evaluated and traffic congestion has been estimated in terms of burst loss probability and average throughput.

This paper proposes an alternative solution for Long-Reach Ethernet passive optical networks. The proposed scheme enables directly communication between ONUs for the transmission of local traffic and control messages, and each ONU calculates bandwidth allocation independently without participation of OLT to remedy the long propagation delay of LR-PON. This scheme also supports centralized control by OLT to change ONUs’ parameters synchronously. Simulation results show that this scheme can effectively reduce the end-to-end packet delay, while maintaining high throughput in uplink channel.

Abstract Hybrid wavelength division multiplexed (WDM)/Time division multiplexed (TDM) virtual passive optical networks (VPONs) are considered to provide cost efficient solutions for ever increasing bandwidth requirements of next generation optical access networks. With the development in technology effective bandwidth assignment has emerged as a major concern area. In this paper a novel heavy load optimized dynamic bandwidth allocation algorithm (HLO-DBA) is proposed for the hybrid WDM/TDM VPONs. Multi point control protocol of Ethernet passive optical network (EPON) is implemented for WDM/TDM VPONs subscribers. The excess bandwidth of lightly loaded subscribers is distributed among heavily loaded users through an efficient mechanism. The proposed technique effectively utilize the idle period between the last transmitted REPORT messages from previous transmission cycle (t-1) to the first GRANT message in the current cycle (t). Optical network units (ONUs) connecting the subscribers are scheduled in such a way so as to reduce the wastage of bandwidth. Performance evaluation of HLO-DBA in terms of quality of service (QOS) metrics like throughput and average delay is done to validate the optimization of the proposed mechanism.
