The translucent optical payload enables the implementation of IP-over-WDM satellite optical networks (SONs), which can achieve great bandwidth capacity while providing the flexibility of IP routing. The rechargeable battery is the sole energy support for satellites in the eclipse region. Unrestrained discharge will accelerate battery aging and shorten the satellite operation period, causing extremely high expenditure costs. Satellite movement causes time-scheduled energy supply and traffic fluctuation, complicating the problem of energy consumption in IP-over-WDM SONs. This paper studies green traffic grooming (GTG) in IP-over-WDM SONs from the perspective of battery lifetime consumption (BLC). A grooming graph is designed to implement GTG with the physical impairment constraint in IP-over-WDM SONs, and battery-aware GTG (BA-GTG) and time-aware GTG (TA-GTG) are proposed by taking battery information and time information as prior knowledge. Numerical results indicate that BA-GTG and TA-GTG, especially the latter, can effectively reduce BLC. In addition, multiple link configurations are set in performance comparison to evaluate the effect of the physical impairment on battery efficiency in IP-over-WDM SONs.","PeriodicalId":50103,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optical Communications and Networking","volume":"16 12","pages":"1275-1287"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142736532","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}

{"title":"Digital-twin-based active input refinement for insertion loss estimation and QoT optimization in C and C + L networks","authors":"Xin Yang;Chenyu Sun;Gabriel Charlet;Massimo Tornatore;Yvan Pointurier","doi":"10.1364/JOCN.537734","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1364/JOCN.537734","url":null,"abstract":"Quality of transmission (QoT) prediction is a fundamental function in optical networks. It is typically embedded within a digital twin and used for operational tasks, including service establishment, service rerouting, and (per-channel or per-amplifier) power management to optimize the working point of services and hence to maximize their capacity. Inaccuracy in QoT prediction results in additional, unwanted design margins. A key contributor to QoT inaccuracy is the uncertain knowledge of fiber insertion loss, e.g., the attenuation due to connector losses at the beginning or at the end of each fiber span, as such loss cannot be directly monitored. Indeed, insertion losses drive the choice of the launch power in fiber spans, which in turn drive key physical effects, including the Kerr and stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) effects, which affect services’ QoT. It is thus important to estimate (and detect possibly anomalous) fiber insertion losses at each span. We thereby propose a novel active input refinement (AIR) technique using active probing to estimate insertion losses in C and C + L systems. Here, active probing consists of adjusting amplifier gains span by span to slightly alter SRS. The amount of adjustment must be sufficient to be measurable (such that insertion losses can be inferred from the measures) but small enough to have a negligible impact on running services in a live network. The method is validated by simulations on a European network with 30 optical multiplex sections (OMSs) in C and C + L configurations and by lab experiments on a C-band network, demonstrating that AIR significantly improves insertion loss estimation, network QoT optimization, and QoT prediction compared with other state-of-the-art monitoring techniques. This work underscores the critical role of accurate estimation of QoT inputs in enhancing optical network performance.","PeriodicalId":50103,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optical Communications and Networking","volume":"16 12","pages":"1261-1274"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142736533","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}

Specifically, for a service request, EON spectra are first split into multiple spectrum window planes (SWPs), regarding various numbers of contained frequency slots (FSs). Then, over each SWP, a lightpath with an optimal estimated quality of transmission (QoT) is generated using a PtrNet-based routing agent. Further, different modulation formats are verified for the generated lightpath over the considered SWP, with respect to a calculated QoT threshold, to check whether a specific preforward error correction (FEC) requirement can be satisfied. Finally, two heuristic approaches, first fit and highest fit, are applied in the joint RMSA to select an optimal lightpath of an SWP and modulation format. To evaluate the efficiency of the PtrNet-RMSA scheme, extensive simulations were conducted in EONs with dynamic traffic. Results show that the proposed PtrNet-RMSA scheme can significantly improve the network capacity with various network topologies, compared with two benchmarks.","PeriodicalId":50103,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optical Communications and Networking","volume":"16 12","pages":"1249-1260"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142736345","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}

An all-photonics metro-access converged network (APN) aims to actualize a flat architecture by expanding dense wavelength-division-multiplexing (DWDM) metro networks into access areas. The APN flexibly and dynamically provides optical connectivity between any two points, even across the boundaries between access and metro areas according to individual application requirements and traffic-load status. To actualize and further evolve the APN concept, several technical challenges regarding access nodes, defined as Photonic Gateways (GWs), still remain. From an access node functionality perspective, first, the Photonic GW should forward various types of optical paths. Unlike reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexers in current metro networks, which are specifically designed to cross-connect DWDM signals, the Photonic GW needs to handle various lights and optical signals, including short-reach applications and emerging non-communication use cases. Second, the Photonic GW should provide remote control channels to user terminals (UTs) in a more scalable and cost-effective manner within the node-footprint and power-consumption constraints. Remote and in-channel UT control is required to place flexibly the endpoints of a wavelength path, i.e., UT, beyond the control-plane network. Then, from the controller perspective, the physical connectivity between the newly connected UT and the access-side port of the Photonic GW should be autonomously identified for plug-and-play operation. Since UTs are widely distributed within an access area, there is a need for an initial connection method that does not require timing adjustments to connect to the APN between newly connected UTs. This paper presents an extension to the APN architecture that allows the Photonic GW to increase the types of accommodable optical paths and to enhance the scale of remote UT control. This paper also proposes an advanced initial connection method that works even when multiple UTs are simultaneously connected to the APN. The extension to the APN architecture and the initial connection method are verified through experiments based on a Photonic GW prototype that fully complies with the extended APN architecture and comprises four functionally disaggregated units, 100-Gb/s C-band DWDM digital coherent UTs, and 25-Gb/s O-band non-DWDM intensity modulation and direct detection UTs. A 10-gigabit-capable symmetric passive optical network is adopted for remote UT control. The proposed initial connection method eliminates the connection interval of 6 s or more between newly connected UTs and achieves guard time-free operation.","PeriodicalId":50103,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optical Communications and Networking","volume":"16 12","pages":"1229-1240"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10769543","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142736648","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although these schemes have been improved over the years, they can be further optimized. Therefore, this study proposes, to our knowledge, a new protocol-aware approach, tailored for FSO satellite downlinks, to classify the criticality of radiation-induced errors.

To solve these problems, we propose a fixed-point extended (FE)-logistic chaotic mapping to reduce the computational complexity while employing a two-dimensional (2D) cellular automata (CA) and Turing pattern (TP) cascading scramble (CA-TPCS) encryption algorithm to further improve the sensitivity of the NOMA-PON system. The CA-TPCS consists of 2D-CA dynamic bit encryption and Turing symbol substitution (TSS). By using FE chaos to construct 2D-CA and adopting index sort to extract the TSS matrix, dynamic diffusion of bits and scrambling of a 2D symbol matrix are achieved. To ensure the key privacy, we employ a dual key mechanism, and uplink data is introduced as the private key. To verify the feasibility of the proposed method, a simulation validation is built on a 17.6 Gb/s power division multiplexing-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (PDM-OFDM) NOMA-PON system transmitted over 25 km standard single mode fiber (SSMF). The results show that the proposed scheme has no effect on the optimal power allocation rate (PAR) values and the values are all 3. Meanwhile, the receiver sensitivity gains of 0.2 and 0.3 dB are obtained for high-power and low-power users after encryption. The ciphertext has good diffusion and statistical properties, and the key space is flexibly controlled by the FE precision \u0000<tex>$f$</tex>\u0000, the length \u0000<tex>$l$</tex>\u0000 of the transmitted bit, and the size \u0000<tex>$T$</tex>\u0000 of the TP, with the value of \u0000<tex>${2^{2f + l + T times T}}$</tex>\u0000.

The drastic reduction of the power consumption of IP routers and ZR/ZR+ pluggable transponders seen in the past several years has renewed the interest in “opaque” optical-network architectures, where no optical bypassing is allowed. In this work, we aim to quantify and compare the power consumption of four “IP over wavelength division multiplexing” (IPoWDM) transport network architectures employing ZR/ZR+ modules versus long-haul muxponders, considering different grooming, regeneration, and optical bypassing capabilities. We first propose a power consumption model for different IPoWDM node architectures with ZR/ZR+ modules and long-haul muxponders. Then, to obtain the power consumption of different architectures, we propose a compact auxiliary-graph-based network-design algorithm extensible to different network architectures. Moreover, we investigate how the continuous decrease in the power consumption of ZR/ZR+ and IP routers can impact the power consumption of different architectures through a sensitivity analysis. Illustrative numerical results on networks of different sizes show that, despite drastic reductions of power consumption at the IP layer, optical bypassing is still the most power-efficient solution, reducing consumption by up to 48%.","PeriodicalId":50103,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optical Communications and Networking","volume":"16 12","pages":"1189-1203"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142636258","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}
