However, traditional telemetry architectures, designed for low-frequency performance monitoring (typically sampled at 1 Hz or 15 min intervals), fail to meet the stringent requirements of physical sensing applications, which demand kHz-range sampling to capture seismic events by using indirect metrics such as state of polarization (SOP) rotations or the Jones rotation vector. This paper proposes a high-sampling-rate, open-source telemetry architecture designed to bridge this gap. Implemented as a containerized microservices stack orchestrated via Docker Compose, the framework leverages Apache Kafka to decouple high-velocity sensing streams from persistent storage, elevating raw sensor data to a “First-Class Citizen” for immediate consumption by AI/ML agents. This approach facilitates multi-modal sensor fusion by enabling the temporal correlation of heterogeneous metrics in real-time. We validate the architecture through an extensive experimental scalability analysis using a Monte Carlo approach. Results demonstrate that the system sustains a throughput of over 30,000 messages/s—approximately 15 times the requirement for high-fidelity sensing—while maintaining sub-second end-to-end latency (<tex>${lt}200;{text{ms}}$</tex>) in the optimal batching regime. These findings confirm the architecture’s suitability for critical early warning scenarios, enabling robust, low-latency intervention in disaggregated optical networks.","PeriodicalId":50103,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optical Communications and Networking","volume":"18 6","pages":"B187-B199"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148171885","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 interlacer combined with the digital subcarrier multiplexing (DSCM) transceivers forms a WDM-PON approach, enabling subcarrier-level switching at the network access, providing lower distribution loss than conventional power splitter (PS)-based TDMA-PON approaches. Moreover, under the practically low crosstalk levels reported for our interlacer implementations, the reduced distribution loss can be traded for increased modulation cardinality (e.g., 16QAM to 64QAM), allowing for reducing the number of allocated transceivers. We further examine a machine learning (ML)-driven framework for dynamic capacity provisioning and validate it using a real-world operator trace mapped onto the national-scale TEFNET24 topology, capturing 4G/5G load patterns with projections toward 6G. We compare static, semi-static, and fully dynamic strategies and show that ML-aided dynamic provisioning reduces transceiver overallocation by up to 63.7% relative to static methods, with the strongest gains during off-peak hours when traffic variability is highest. Finally, we quantify two complementary energy-saving mechanisms enabled by dynamic operation—subcarrier deactivation and transceiver sleep mode—with the latter yielding up to 21% total network energy savings while maintaining quality of service under time-varying demand.","PeriodicalId":50103,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optical Communications and Networking","volume":"18 6","pages":"629-639"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148171876","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 architecture can employ an intra-node structure that connects OXC-subsystems sequentially within a node. While this architecture allows for low-port-count OXC-subsystems to be used, it includes redundant intra-node connections between OXC-subsystems to ensure high flexibility of intra-node routing, which can lead to an increase in the number of OXC-subsystems deployed. This paper proposes a node architecture that adopts unidirectional intra-node connections, aiming to reduce redundant intra-node fibers and improve the utilization efficiency of subsystem ports. In the proposed node architecture, OXC-subsystems are connected in one direction, which can help to avoid redundant bidirectional connections and enable more ports to be used for inter-node connections. We formulate the network model with the proposed node architecture as an integer linear programming problem. For large-scale problems, we develop heuristic algorithms for routing and wavelength assignment to cope with the constraints introduced by unidirectional intra-node connections. Numerical results demonstrate that the network with the proposed node architecture reduces the total number of OXC-subsystems compared to that with the benchmark architecture in static network design. The results also confirm that the proposed architecture achieves the same blocking performance as the benchmark system while reducing the number of OXC-subsystems by up to 17.4%.","PeriodicalId":50103,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optical Communications and Networking","volume":"18 4","pages":"378-393"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147606173","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 conventional least-squares PPE (LS-PPE) method either relies on post-FEC reference symbols, which introduce considerable digital signal processing (DSP) overhead, or employs hard-decision (HD) symbols, which inevitably suffer from a systematic power offset that increases with the pre-FEC bit-error rate (BER). In this paper, we present a comprehensive study of a new, to our knowledge, LS-PPE framework that leverages the pilot symbols (PSs) and training sequence (TS) inherently defined in DSP super-frames. By selectively constructing perturbation matrices from known PS and TS positions while discarding error-prone HD data, the proposed scheme eliminates systematic offset without relying on post-FEC information. Extensive simulations with 130 GBaud signals across multiple modulation formats and transmission distances demonstrate the robustness of the proposed method under diverse system conditions. Experimental validation on an 80 GBaud dual-polarization 16QAM transmission over 250 km standard single-mode fiber confirms estimation accuracy comparable to post-FEC benchmarks and superior robustness over HD-based LS-PPE, highlighting the potential of the PS&TS-based framework for practical deployment.","PeriodicalId":50103,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optical Communications and Networking","volume":"18 4","pages":"B60-B71"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2026-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147440641","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 integration of sensing functionalities into optical networks has given rise to photonic integrated sensing and communication (P-ISAC) systems, which enable advanced functions such as network diagnosis, spatial positioning, and ocean observation, thereby accelerating the evolution toward intelligent optical networks. This review begins by outlining the main categories of P-ISAC, including visible-light-communication-, free-space-, fiber-, and microwave-photonics-based technologies, and briefly introduces their characteristics and application scenarios. A primary focus is concentrated on fiber-based P-ISAC systems, encompassing both forward and backward sensing mechanisms. In such systems, the overall performance is constrained by differing power requirements and signal properties between communication and sensing functions. Key technical challenges include designing optimized system architectures, achieving high spectral efficiency, and approaching or even surpassing the performance limits of integrated communication and sensing. The review further elaborates on recent advances in fiber-based P-ISAC organized by the level of system integration, such as wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM), frequency-division multiplexing (FDM), space-division multiplexing (SDM), and time–frequency multiplexing (TFM), analyzing their respective benefits and representative use cases. Finally, future development trends and key technologies in P-ISAC are outlined.","PeriodicalId":50103,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optical Communications and Networking","volume":"18 4","pages":"B33-B48"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2026-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147362485","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 railway safety monitoring methods face notable limitations, including restricted monitoring distances, vulnerability to environmental influences, and difficulty in maintenance. Distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) technology, with its long-distance monitoring capability, high sensitivity, and strong resistance to electromagnetic interference, has substantial potential to meet these pressing demands. To address the three typical monitoring targets in railway operation and maintenance, this paper proposes an integrated monitoring method based on DAS technology and machine learning methods. Experiments demonstrate that the proposed method possesses multi-track monitoring capability and can simultaneously detect and identify wheelset fault conditions. Meanwhile, it achieves identification accuracies of 97.03% for abnormal disturbance detection and 99.6% for sound barrier fault recognition. This method provides a reliable and promising technical solution for railway monitoring. It can even allow for the implementation of sensing functions using existing track-side communication cables.","PeriodicalId":50103,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optical Communications and Networking","volume":"18 4","pages":"B19-B32"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2026-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147362325","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}
