In these networks, the problem of allocating resources for connections involves assigning routes, modulations, cores, and spectrum (RMCSA). However, the presence of intercore crosstalk (XT) between ongoing connections on adjacent cores can degrade signal transmission, necessitating proper handling during resource assignment. The use of multiple modulations in translucent optical networks presents a challenge in balancing spectrum utilization and XT accumulation. In this paper, we propose a dual-optimized RMCSA algorithm called the Capacity Loss Aware Resource Assignment Algorithm (CLARA+), which optimizes network capacity utilization to improve resource availability and network performance. A two-step machine-learning-enabled optimization is used to improve the resource allocations by balancing the tradeoff between spectrum utilization and XT accumulation with the help of feature extraction from the network. Extensive simulations demonstrate that CLARA+ significantly reduces bandwidth blocking probability and enhances resource utilization across various scenarios. We show that our strategy applied to a few algorithms from the literature improves the bandwidth blocking probability by up to three orders of magnitude. The algorithm effectively balances spectrum utilization and XT accumulation more efficiently compared to existing algorithms in the literature.","PeriodicalId":50103,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optical Communications and Networking","volume":"16 10","pages":"F1-F12"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141802135","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}

Artificial-neural-network-based large models typically have millions to billions of parameters, and their training and reasoning processes put strict requirements on hardware, especially at the chip level, in terms of interconnection bandwidth, processing speed, latency, etc. The optical network-on-chip (ONoC) is a new interconnection technology that connects IP cores through a network of optical waveguides. Due to its incomparable advantages such as low loss, high throughput, and low delay, this communication mode has gradually become the key technology to improve the efficiency of large models. At present, the ONoC has been used to reduce the interconnection complexity of neural network accelerators, where neural network models are reshaped to map into the process elements of the ONoC and communicate at high speed on chip. In this paper, we first propose a torus-based O-type mapping strategy to realize efficient mapping of neuron groups to the chip. Additionally, an array congestion information-based low-congestion arbitrator is designed and then a multi-path low-congestion routing algorithm named TMLA is presented to alleviate array congestion and disperse the routing pressure of each path. Results demonstrate that the proposed mapping and routing scheme can reduce the average network delay without additional loss when the injection rate is relatively large, which provides a valuable reference for the research of neural network acceleration.","PeriodicalId":50103,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optical Communications and Networking","volume":"16 9","pages":"918-928"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142077639","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 such scenarios, a single request could occupy the entire C-band, and therefore such a large request can be transmitted without being groomed with others, eliminating the need for wavelength cross-connect (WXC). The spatial channel network (SCN) architecture has been proposed to address this issue. In SCNs, there are two types of groomed space lanes (SLs): spatial bypass SLs, which enable end-to-end transmission without the need for WXCs, and spectrally groomed SLs, equipped with WXCs and guardbands (GBs) to integrate requests from different nodes for transmission. Because of this characteristic of the SCN, the traditional first fit algorithm cannot allocate SLs efficiently for these two distinct SLs. In this paper, we propose a dynamic routing, spatial channel, and spectrum assignment (RSCSA) algorithm that employs a granularity switching threshold to differentiate incoming requests with different SLs. The proposed algorithm allocates smaller requests to spectrally groomed SLs and larger requests to spatial bypass SLs. This approach not only maintains network flexibility but also ensures transmission efficiency. We have identified by simulation the most suitable granularity switching threshold for given networks and request matrices.","PeriodicalId":50103,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optical Communications and Networking","volume":"16 9","pages":"905-917"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142077619","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}

Our methodology has the following advantages over traditional design: a minimized footprint at user sites, accurate estimation of the necessary optical network characteristics via complementary telemetry technologies, and the capability to conduct all operation work remotely. The last feature is crucial, as it enables remote operation to implement network design settings for immediate response to quality of transmission (QoT) degradation and reversion in the case of unforeseen problems. We successfully performed semi-automatic line system provisioning over field fiber network facilities at Duke University, Durham, North Carolina. The tasks of parameter retrieval, equipment setting optimization, and system setup/provisioning were completed within 1 h. The field operation was supervised by on-duty personnel who could access the system remotely from different time zones. By comparing Q-factor estimates calculated from the extracted link parameters with measured results from 400G transceivers, we confirmed that our methodology has a reduction in the QoT prediction errors (\u0000<tex>${pm}0.3;{rm dB}$</tex>\u0000) over existing designs (\u0000<tex>${pm}0.6;{rm dB}$</tex>\u0000).","PeriodicalId":50103,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optical Communications and Networking","volume":"16 9","pages":"894-904"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142045133","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}

Rechargeable batteries are the sole energy support for satellites in the eclipse region, and unrestrained use of batteries may accelerate battery aging and shorten the satellite operation period. Real-time sleep/activate control on demand is not applicable to reduce the energy consumption of LISLs because waiting for link pointing delay is intolerable for most traffic requests, and aperiodically changing LISLs’ working states may affect the routing reliability in SONs. For the above problem, this paper proposes green LISL planning (GreenLP) to periodically switch LISLs’ working states to prolong the battery lifetime. Considering the possible degradation of network throughput by sleeping LISLs, this paper models GreenLP as a double-objective optimization problem from the perspective of topology design, and two topology features are expanded based on traffic prediction to numerically quantify LISLs’ potential importance. Simulation results indicate that, compared with existing schemes, GreenLP reduces battery lifetime consumption by 8.93% and the probability of request blocking by 5.65%. Numerical analysis shows that the expanded node betweenness centrality has the effectiveness and universality to quantify LISLs’ potential importance on network throughput.","PeriodicalId":50103,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optical Communications and Networking","volume":"16 9","pages":"868-880"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141809202","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}

Nonetheless, the integration of microring resonators (MRs) in ONoCs exposes them to vulnerabilities associated with hardware trojans (HTs). In response, we propose an innovative strategy that combines deep-learning-based HT attack prediction with a robust security defense mechanism to fortify the resilience of ONoCs. For HT attack prediction, we employ a multiple-inputs and multiple-outputs long short-term memory neural network model. This model serves to identify susceptible MRs by forecasting alterations in traffic patterns and detecting internal faults within optical routing nodes. On the defensive front, we introduce a fine-grained defense mechanism based on MR faults. This mechanism effectively thwarts HTs during the optical routing process, thereby optimizing node utilization in ONoCs while concurrently upholding security and reliability. Simulation outcomes underscore the efficacy of the proposed HT attack prediction mechanism, demonstrating high accuracy with a loss rate of less than 0.7%. The measured mean absolute error and root mean squared error stand at 0.045 and 0.07, respectively. Furthermore, when compared to conventional coarse-grained node-based defense algorithms, our solution achieves noteworthy reductions of up to 16.2%, 43.72%, and 44.86% in packet loss rate, insertion loss, and crosstalk noise, respectively.","PeriodicalId":50103,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optical Communications and Networking","volume":"16 9","pages":"881-893"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141807023","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}

However, two major technologies—multiband elastic optical networks (MB-EONs) and space division multiplexed elastic optical networks (SDM-EONs)—can significantly increase network capacity beyond traditional EONs. A one-time greenfield deployment of these flexible-grid technologies may not be practical, as existing investments in flexible-grid EONs need to be preserved and ongoing services must face minimal disruption. Therefore, we envision the coexistence of flexible-grid, multiband, and multicore technologies during the brownfield migration. Each technology represents a tradeoff between higher capacity and greater deployment overhead, directly impacting network performance. Moreover, as traffic demands continue rising, capacity exhaustion becomes inevitable. Considering the different characteristics of these technologies, we propose a robust network planning solution called Progressive Optics Deployment and Integration for Growing Yields (PRODIGY+) to gradually migrate current C-band EONs. PRODIGY+ employs proactive measures inspired by the Swiss Cheese Model, making the network robust to traffic peaks while meeting service level agreements. The upgrade strategy enables a gradual transition to minimize migration costs while continuously supporting increasing traffic demands.
