Abstract
The use of optical access networks with aerial-deployed fiber for deriving maps of environmental temperature is investigated. Telecom operators have thousands of kilometers of deployed fiber to provide last-mile broadband services, which could be leveraged to extract temperature information with no additional cost since data are already available as part of the physical layer operations, administration, and maintenance (PLOAM) traffic. Here, it is shown how this information can be used to develop maps of environmental temperature as a method to complement present weather observation platforms. Preliminary experimental results with a G.984 passive optical network (PON) in operation show the feasibility of the technique.
期刊介绍:
The scope of the Journal includes advances in the state-of-the-art of optical networking science, technology, and engineering. Both theoretical contributions (including new techniques, concepts, analyses, and economic studies) and practical contributions (including optical networking experiments, prototypes, and new applications) are encouraged. Subareas of interest include the architecture and design of optical networks, optical network survivability and security, software-defined optical networking, elastic optical networks, data and control plane advances, network management related innovation, and optical access networks. Enabling technologies and their applications are suitable topics only if the results are shown to directly impact optical networking beyond simple point-to-point networks.
