Frequent and proactive user interactions in HTC exacerbate dynamic bandwidth demands and lead to redundant hologram transmissions, as users engage with only a small portion of the hologram at any time. Additionally, ultra-low latency and precise synchronization requirements across concurrent data flows carrying HTC services further complicate the resource-efficient multisensory data distribution. This paper investigates resource-efficient HTC service provision over an elastic optical network (EON)-enabled next-generation radio access network (NG-RAN), focusing on DU-CU deployment, holographic routing, and spectrum allocation for the transmission of holograms and multisensory media data. To address these issues, we propose a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model and a holographic viewpoint rotation prediction-based graph neural network with an edge-node switch convolution-enhanced deep reinforcement learning (VRP-GENSC-DRL) algorithm. The proposed algorithm integrates viewpoint rotation prediction (VRP) using long short-term memory (LSTM) to convert dynamic bandwidth demands into static requirements, a graph neural network (GNN) with edge-node switch convolution for precise feature extraction, and deep reinforcement learning (DRL) for optimized baseband function deployment and holographic RSA. Simulation results indicate that VRP-GENSC-DRL reduces the total number of active processing nodes and consumption of spectrum bandwidth by approximately 50% compared to benchmarks without VRP, effectively addressing the challenges of HTC service delivery.","PeriodicalId":50103,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optical Communications and Networking","volume":"17 5","pages":"425-438"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143888400","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper first demonstrates the longitudinal power monitoring model for simplified coherent PONs using the regularized linear least squares method with piecewise linear fitting to monitor the power evolution and detect losses along the fiber link. The well-selected regularization was verified to be effective in solving the PON-specific ill-posed problem and mitigating the effects of noise to give a stable solution for longitudinal power monitoring. The proposed model was first verified for single-loss events in the simulation and experiment. Simulation results indicate a maximum quantification error of 0.04 dB and a localization error of 0.10 km under various single-loss insertion scenarios. In the experiment, the single-loss insertion was identified without prior knowledge of the number of losses, achieving maximum quantification and localization errors of 0.14 dB and 0.25 km, respectively, thus demonstrating high loss detection accuracy. The proposed model was also extended to multiple-loss detection, and the simulation results indicate its potential applicability in characterizing the ODN for simplified coherent PONs in practical deployments.","PeriodicalId":50103,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optical Communications and Networking","volume":"17 8","pages":"C93-C104"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143888297","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nevertheless, OPS networks possess significant potential advantages, including a high data transfer rate and low power consumption due to the elimination of optical–electrical–optical conversion, compared to conventional electronic packet-switching networks, flexibility in handling traffic fluctuations due to packet-switching principles, and low latency as they do not require overhead for communication path establishment. However, effective data recovery from non-negligible packet loss due to optical packet collisions remains a critical challenge in OPS networks. Packet-level forward error correction (FEC) is regarded as an effective data recovery method for lossy networks, such as OPS ones, because it does not rely on packet-by-packet feedback, which could be lost, and avoids the delays associated with feedback and retransmission. On the other hand, FEC requires the transmission of additional packets beyond the original data, increasing the computational load associated with encoding and decoding. In this paper, we propose a data transfer method based on erasure coding, which is useful not only in OPS networks but also in other network environments suffering from severe packet loss due to collisions or signal degradation, such as optical circuit switching networks and wireless networks. This method improves effective data transfer throughput by limiting the number of transmitted packets and reducing the computational overhead of the encoding and decoding processes. This improvement is achieved through the appropriate configuration of the distribution of XOR operation target packets that constitute XOR packets, thereby restricting the number of symbols encoded in each XOR operation and introducing cumulative feedback of which symbols were already recovered at the receiver. To validate the proposed method, we conducted not only simulation evaluations but also what we believe to be the world’s first packet transmission demonstration experiment using packet-level erasure coding over an actual OPS network testbed, taking actual computational overhead into account. The experimental results show that, in high transmission rate environments, the proposed method achieves up to a 188.7% increase in effective data transfer throughput compared to the benchmark LT-Codes-based packet-level FEC transmission method while reducing the processing time on the sender side by up to 15.6% and on the receiver side by up to 39.4%. In addition, the number of packets required for data decoding can be reduced by up to 63.3%.","PeriodicalId":50103,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optical Communications and Networking","volume":"17 5","pages":"412-424"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143871083","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The use of NDTs enables a comprehensive and dynamic digital representation of the physical network, capturing critical aspects, such as topology, traffic patterns, and performance metrics, which permits data-driven decision-making to lead to more efficient networking operations. The incorporation of cloud-native SDN controllers along with an NDT ensures that the system remains scalable, flexible, and responsive to dynamic network conditions. Intent-based networking, powered by GenAI, allows the network to interpret high-level objectives from operators and autonomously translate them into actionable configurations that are enforced by orchestrators and SDN controllers. This eliminates manual intervention, minimizes errors, accelerates the deployment of network services, and provides a means for easier network management. The presented framework significantly enhances automation, enabling predictive maintenance by identifying potential issues before they impact network performance.

These parameters include the number of transmitted quantum symbols, power levels of CCs, quantum channel (QC) allocation within the C-band, power distribution among CCs, channel spacing between CCs and the QC, and CC power ranges suitable for both CCs and the QC. These insights provide valuable guidance for a software-defined networking (SDN) control system to manage CV-QKD and CC coexistence effectively. We observed that, for short distances and lower key rates, the number of quantum symbols exchanged does not need to reach the asymptotic convergence limit. However, achieving the asymptotic regime on a 10 km link requires transmitting approximately <tex>${1} times {{10}^{13}}$</tex> quantum symbols. CC power significantly impacts CV-QKD performance. For example, in a DWDM setup with 37 dummy CCs on a 100 GHz grid, CV-QKD can support up to 11 dBm total launch power over a 10 km link when the QC is positioned at 193.2 THz and a 200 GHz channel spacing between the QC and CCs is maintained. Strategic placement of the QC within the C-band also enhances performance. Placing the QC at higher frequency channels relative to CCs improves both the secret key fraction and the maximum supported power of CCs. For instance, placing the QC at 195.9 THz provides better performance than positioning it at 193.2 or 192.2 THz. However, when the QC is placed at 192.2 THz, the maximum supported CC power reduces to 9.8 dBm. Additionally, the relationship between power distribution and power concentration is complex and requires careful consideration. It depends on the number of active CCs, the power of CCs, and their spectral placement relative to the QC. We also analyzed the case of <tex>${8} times {200}{rm G}$</tex> modulated CCs and found that placing them 100 GHz from the QC introduces nonlinear noise but still allows a positive secret key fraction. Increasing the spacing to 200 GHz further improves CV-QKD performance. Joint performance analysis revealed that, at a 100 GHz spacing and a 30 dB optical signal-to-noise ratio for CCs, a launch power range of <tex>${-}{16.96}$</tex> to 9.03 dBm supports both error-free CC recovery and positive key rate generation over a 10 km link. This comprehensive analysis highlights the interplay between CV-QKD and CCs, offering practical strategies for optimizing their coexistence in DWDM systems through an SDN control system.","PeriodicalId":50103,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optical Communications and Networking","volume":"17 6","pages":"B28-B37"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143817852","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the context of the broadband access network, and more specifically 50G-PON, the simplest and most affordable solution is usually the best. Implementing an analog feedforward equalizer (AFFE) is not as simple as using digital feedforward equalizer (DFFE) techniques but is relevant from a cost and energy consumption point of view. AFFE has a number of advantages, such as lower power consumption and lower latency, due to the fact that it avoids using an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). In this work, we focus on AFFE optimization techniques to mitigate intersymbol interference (ISI) and chromatic dispersion (CD) and therefore improve signal quality. We model an AFFE in order to reduce a complex problem (because of AFFE’s inter-cells non-uniformity and intra-cells non-linearity, for example) into a simpler formulation that can be solved according to a minimum mean square error (MMSE) approach. This approach is possible when the transmission channel does not fluctuate. Experimental validation through electrical and optical setups demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed optimization, achieving a significant reduction in the bit error rate (BER) and opening eye diagrams for better signal clarity, thereby offering a viable solution for future optical networks.","PeriodicalId":50103,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optical Communications and Networking","volume":"17 5","pages":"401-411"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143817950","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The SXC has a core selective switch (CSS) in a route-and-select configuration. The CSS is a multi-core fiber (MCF)-based optical switch that can switch optical signals on a per-core basis without going through fan-in fan-out (FIFO) devices. To reduce the cost of the SXC, a broadcast-and-select (B&S) configuration is promising, where the ingress CSSs in the SXC are replaced by MCF splitters (SPLs). In this paper, we propose a construction for <tex>${1} times N$</tex> MCF SPLs and a method to manage the polarity and core arrangement flipping when using them for the SXC. In addition, we report experimental results using <tex>${1} times {2}$</tex> all-port flipped 19-core fiber (19-CF) SPLs constructed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. The unique feature of the proposed method is that the core arrangement of all MCF output ports is inverted with respect to that of the input port. This cancels the core arrangement flipping that occurs in the egress CSS in the B&S SXC. Furthermore, based on a comparison with MCF-based optical devices, such as the CSS and FIFO, which have polarity, we clarify that MCF SPLs have no polarity, similar to MCF patch cords. Therefore, a single type of MCF SPL can be used without worrying about orientation. Three constructed all-port-reversed <tex>${1} times {2}$</tex> 19-CF SPL prototypes exhibit low loss (<tex>${lt}{7.5};{rm dB}$</tex>), low polarization-dependent loss (<tex>${lt}{0.5};{rm dB}$</tex>), and low total inter-core cross talk (<tex>${lt} {-}35.7;{rm dB}$</tex>) at C-band wavelengths. In addition, no optical signal-to-noise ratio penalty is observed when 100-Gb/s-based wavelength-division-multiplexed signals are input to all cores. Finally, we show that an all-port non-flipped <tex>${1} times {4}$</tex> 19-CF SPL can be constructed by connecting three all-port flipped <tex>${1} times {2}$</tex> 19-CF SPLs in a tree structure.","PeriodicalId":50103,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optical Communications and Networking","volume":"17 5","pages":"378-391"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143808936","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address these challenges and advance multi-band transmission systems toward comprehensive optimization, we propose a stepwise algorithm to jointly configure multiple devices, enhancing the performance of <tex>${rm S} + {rm C} + {rm L}$</tex>-band transmission systems. This stepwise configuration approach accelerates the identification of optimal configurations by considering various linear and nonlinear effects while incorporating adjustments to multiple devices beyond in-line amplifiers. This flexibility allows for tailored optimizations under varying conditions, achieving improved performance at a reduced cost. A simulation study of an eight-span <tex>${rm C} + {rm L} + {rm S}$</tex>-band link demonstrates that optimizing amplifiers alone using the proposed algorithm achieves a comparable 2.2 dB improvement in generalized signal-to-noise ratio (GSNR) while reducing the optimization time by half compared to traditional methods. Further configuring wavelength-selective switches (WSSs) improves GSNR flatness—reducing the difference between maximum and minimum GSNR values to below 0.2 dB in each band, even under uneven amplifier gain spectra. Additionally, an efficient method for simultaneously configuring WSS in multiple adjacent channels reduces optimization time by approximately tenfold.","PeriodicalId":50103,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optical Communications and Networking","volume":"17 5","pages":"352-362"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143801074","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
