Resource allocation approaches that limit the simultaneous use of adjacent cores in the same frequency band to the MCFs composing each lightpath have been widely adopted to suppress IC-XT. However, in principle, such methods are inefficient because they cannot fully utilize all cores. This study examines the core density from the perspective of the core layout in weakly coupled MCFs and the IC-XT suppression requirement. The densest MCF layout maximizes the network capacity while restricting the amount of IC-XT within the tolerance threshold for each lightpath. Specifically, we propose an XT-free condition, maintaining the IC-XT to each lightpath within the acceptable tolerance level. In addition, we evaluated numerous MCFs that satisfy or do not satisfy the XT-free condition with various network topologies and cladding diameters. This evaluation also validates the IC-XT reduction performance of the proposed framework compared with that of the conventional resource-allocation approach. Here, we incorporate our indirect IC-XT calculation method that affects lightpaths from other cores via its nearest cores, which was overlooked in the resource allocation problem. Based on these comprehensive examinations, we propose a method to determine the densest core layout for a given network topology and route and modulation format selection algorithm.","PeriodicalId":50103,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optical Communications and Networking","volume":"16 12","pages":"H40-H52"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142565606","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}

These algorithms are usually evaluated using a software simulator developed ad hoc, which may require different levels of detail depending on the problem addressed and how realistic the evaluation needs to be. Moreover, to demonstrate they are a significant contribution to the field, these new algorithms must be benchmarked against the best-performing previously proposed solutions. Due to the large set of parameters and their wide range of possible values, benchmarking algorithms from the literature is not straightforward and can quickly become challenging and time-consuming. This work introduces the Optical Networking Gym, an open-source toolkit that simplifies implementing optical resource assignment simulations and benchmarking new solutions against previously published algorithms. The toolkit provides environments modeling relevant optical networking scenarios, common algorithms for solving problems related to these scenarios, and a set of scripts to prepare and execute simulations for various use cases. Currently, four environments are available, with the possibility of increasing this number through contributions from the co-authors and the community. This paper describes the architecture, interface, environments, and scripts included with the toolkit. We adopt the quality of transmission (QoT)-aware dynamic resource allocation of optical services as the network scenario under examination. Three use cases highlight the toolkit’s modularity, flexibility, and performance. The toolkit allows researchers to streamline the process of developing simulation scenarios and algorithms, enhancing their ability to benchmark their algorithms.","PeriodicalId":50103,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optical Communications and Networking","volume":"16 12","pages":"G40-G51"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142565630","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}

Effective NLE implementation relies on key parameters of the transmission link, including the modulation format (MF) and the launch power. As ONs become more agile, the parameters of fiber optical transmission need to be adaptive and relevant to the routing condition. Therefore, successful NLE implementation relies on the realization of transmission awareness (TA). Although machine learning-enabled optical performance monitoring (OPM) has been extensively investigated in the past few years, current NLE algorithms cannot autonomously perceive transmission parameters. Furthermore, current TA implementation still needs human intervention to guide the NLE. In addition, existing ML-based OPM and NLE cannot be trained autonomously, leading to the incapability of environmental change and mislabeling. Here, we propose cognitive learning (CL) for TA-guided NLE in agile ONs. We perform an experiment involving 32 Gbaud polarization-division-multiplexed (PDM)-quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK)/16-quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) transmission over 1500 km of standard single-mode fiber (SSMF) with a variable launch power from 0 to 3 dBm. When a deep neural network (DNN) with amplitude histograms (AHs) as inputs and one step per span-learned digital back-propagation (1stps-LDBP) are developed, the CL simultaneously enables both TA and NLE, with the capability of self-learning, mislabeling resistance, and dynamic adaptation. The proof-of-concept experimental results indicate that both the accuracy of TA and the Q-factor of PDM-16QAM can be improved by 34.8% and 0.84 dB, respectively, when the launch power is 3 dBm. Moreover, the accuracy of TA is enhanced by 35.3%, even when the used data has 30% mislabeling. Therefore, the CL framework can be customized to satisfy various NLE implementations, thereby supporting the adaptive transmission of agile ONs.","PeriodicalId":50103,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optical Communications and Networking","volume":"16 11","pages":"1170-1178"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142552005","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}

Traditional machine learning (ML) QoT prediction models, typically trained on pre-collected datasets, are designed to make long-term predictions once deployed. However, this static training strategy often falls short in the face of time-dependent network evolution and variations. We identify the root cause of these shortcomings as shifts in data distribution, which are not accounted for in conventional static models. In response to these challenges, we propose an online continual learning pipeline that is specifically designed for stable QoT prediction in optical networks. This pipeline directly addresses the problem of distribution shifts by continuously updating the prediction model in response to real-time network data. We explore and compare various strategies within this framework and demonstrate that the integration of the adaptive retraining strategy and the regularized online continual learning algorithm (OCL-REG) significantly enhances the QoT prediction stability while optimizing the resource efficiency. OCL-REG demonstrates superior adaptability and stability, achieving an average cumulative mean squared error (C-MSE) of 0.19 on a testbench with a data distribution shift sequence containing 1000 batches. Moreover, the OCL-REG model requires fewer samples for adaptation, averaging around 107 samples, compared to the conventional retraining strategy, which requires an average of 253 samples. Our approach presents a paradigm shift in QoT prediction, moving from a static to a dynamic, lifelong learning model that is more attuned to the evolving realities of real fiber-optic networks.","PeriodicalId":50103,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optical Communications and Networking","volume":"16 11","pages":"1159-1169"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142538035","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}

Unfortunately, current OTN protection methods often provide fixed bandwidth for protection of 1 Gbps or more, which leads to resource wastage. Fine grain OTN (fgOTN) is an extension of existing OTN, which supports hitless bandwidth adjustment and uses 10 Mbps time slot isolation. The application of fgOTN’s advantages to network protection can save resources. However, how much initial protection bandwidth is reserved for links to improve the service recovery success probability after faults is a key issue to be studied. If the initially reserved protection bandwidth is too much, that may waste precious bandwidth resources and fail to recover other services. If the initially reserved protection bandwidth is too small, the controller needs to adjust the bandwidth frequently to meet service requirements, which puts tremendous pressure on network management and control. This study proposes a maximum bandwidth segmented shared protection (MBSSP) scheme, which is based on optimized centralized and distributed collaboration network management architecture. The protection scheme includes two algorithms: (i) the resource reservation algorithm used before the fault occurs based on maximum bandwidth segmented shared protection and (ii) the protection switch algorithm used after the fault occurs based on bandwidth adjustment. Simulative results show that, in a 38-node topology, compared with minimum bandwidth dedicated protection (MBDP), MBSSP only sacrifices 0.8% of resource utilization but can reduce the bandwidth adjustment probability by 15.8% and improves the recovery success probability by 33.4%. Compared with end-to-end shared protection (E2ESP), MBSSP improves recovery success probability by 42.9% and saves resources by 16.7%, although it increases the bandwidth adjustment probability by 20%.","PeriodicalId":50103,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optical Communications and Networking","volume":"16 11","pages":"1145-1158"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142524177","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}

Machine learning-based QoT estimation models have shown promise in ensuring the reliability and efficiency of optical networks. However, the data-driven nature of these models impedes their application in practical settings. To address the problem of limited data availability in the target domain, known as the few-shot learning problem, we propose a domain adversarial adaptation method that aligns the distributions of representations from different source and target domains by minimizing the domain discrepancy quantified by the approximate Wasserstein distance. We demonstrate the method’s effectiveness through a theoretical proof and two example adaptations, i.e., from simulation to experimental data and from experimental to real network data. Our method consistently outperforms commonly used artificial neural networks (ANNs) and more advanced transfer learning approaches for various target domain data sizes. More profoundly, we show two ways to further improve the prediction accuracy, i.e., incorporating unlabeled target domain data in the training stage and utilizing the learned representations after training to train a new ANN with a reweighting strategy. In the adaptation to actual field data, our model, trained with only eight labeled network data samples, outperforms an ANN trained with 300 samples, thus reducing the labeled target domain data burden by more than 97%. The proposed method’s adaptability and generalizability make it a promising solution for accurate QoT estimation with low data requirements in future intelligent optical networks.","PeriodicalId":50103,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optical Communications and Networking","volume":"16 11","pages":"1133-1144"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142518221","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}
