This work investigates the transparent bypassing capacity requirements of elastic backbone optical networks to determine the all-optical cross-connection capacity needed at network nodes. Topological parameters have been ...

A simple scheme to implement dedicated path protection in Elastic Optical Networks is proposed and evaluated under dynamic traffic conditions. It consists in splitting the spectrum available in the network links in two ...

The purpose of this paper is the study of homodyne optical receivers for PSK modulations, using a direct-decision’s scheme, that is a Costas loop scheme’s modification. After optimimizing receiver parameters we bound the ...

In the letter a new method for the resolution of the moment equations in a nonlinear optical amplifier is exposed. Results for the four first moments for the saturated and unsaturated absorption cases are presented. These ...

In the Hierarchical Path Computation Element (H-PCE) architecture, an optimum end-to-end path is computed using a hierarchical relationship among PCEs. An H-PCE-based path computation procedure provides low network blocking ...

Large optical backbone networks may be composed of several domains, each one controlled by different administrators/operators. Besides, the bandwidth granularity of these domains may be different. Label Switched Paths ...

The Split Spectrum Approach (SSA) in elastic optical networks is based on splitting a demand into smaller sub-signals when a blocking situation arises, either due to the lack of spectral resources or transmission reach ...

The constant growing in traffic demands has driven to look for new methods with which to reduce the occupied bandwidth and efficient use of the optical spectrum. Despite non-orthogonal signalling lead to intersymbolic ...
