The massive deployment of 5G and beyond will require high capacity and low latency
connectivity services, so network operators will have either to overprovision capacity in their …

Recent years have seen an unprecedented growth of data traffic driven by a continuous
increase of connected devices and new applications. This trend will tend to saturate …

Cost effectiveness and energy efficiency have recently become two practical issues during
access networks construction and operation. In this paper, we extend our previous proposal …

In flexible optical networks, lightpaths are routed from source to destination thanks to
reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexers (ROADMs) placed in every node connected by …

Spectral slicing techniques can support point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, and multiple
access applications in the local access network. With spectral allocation it enables operation …

Spatial-division multiplexing (SDM) and band-division multiplexing (BDM) have emerged as
solutions to expand the capacity of existing C-band wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) …

Optical Network (SONET) and Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) Control [RFC Home] …

We focus on the problem of crosstalk-aware lightpath provisioning in a dynamic, spectrally
and spatially flexible optical network, in which spectral super-channels are carried over multi …

Super-channel (or multi-carrier) transmission is today one of the most promising techniques
for the support of high line rates, which are required to satisfy the massive increase of …
