      We compare SDM joint and independent switching strategies in a planning scenario involving a European backbone network. Joint switching can achieve cost savings of 40-50% with a performance similar to that of independent ...
    • Impact of spatial and spectral granularity on the performance of SDM networks based on spatial superchannel switching

      Spatially integrated switching architectures have been recently investigated in an attempt to provide switching capability for networks based on spatial division multiplexing (SDM) fibers, as well as to reduce the ...
    • Investigation of mid-term network migration scenarios comparing multi-band and multifiber deployments

      We compared two different mid-term migration scenarios for core network capacity scaling, realized using either multi-band or multi-fiber systems. We show, under realistic assumptions of current costs, that the multi-fiber ...
