The computing power network (CPN) has emerged as a promising networking paradigm in
recent times. Since the characteristics of high bandwidth, low delay and high reliable …

Consistent growth in the volume and dynamic behavior of traffic mandates new
requirements for fast and adaptive resource allocation in metro networks. We propose a …

Disaggregation in optical networks is particularly relevant to be considered for the
deployment of 5G services and towards the support of 6G. Particularly in the metro area …

To cope with the growing and diversifying 5G services, RAN slicing, an effective resource
allocation mechanism, has been proposed. Each RAN slice serves varied service …

Digital signal processing (DSP)-enabled soft reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexers
(Soft-ROADMs) offer flexible add/drop optical switching at wavelength, sub-wavelength and …

Elastic Optical Networks (EONs) enable finer-grained resource allocation and tuning of
transmission configurations for right-sized resource allocation. These features make EONs …

Metro networks are becoming considerably important to support the existing and future 5G
services and they are facing new challenges. To address the new requirements, we present …

Metropolitan optical networks are undergoing major transformations to continue being able
to provide services that meet the requirements of the applications of the future. The arrival of …

Considering the time-averaged behavior of a metro elastic optical network, we develop a
joint procedure for resource allocation and traffic shaping to exploit the inherent service …
