Intensive video and cloud computing services are putting much pressure on metro networks
to meet stringent requirements such as low latency, low power consumption, and high …

We propose and investigate an ultradense wavelength switched network (UD-WSN) for
metro and regional applications. The UD-WSN provides all-optical switching and end-to-end …

The current constant growing in traffic demands caused by the popularization of cloud
services, mobile and social networks is requiring architectural changes at the underlying …

We have introduced a novel metro network architecture called Ultra-Dense Wavelength
Switched Network (UD-WSN)[1], which enables an even fine spectrum granularity so as to …

Emerging technologies such as spectrally efficient multicarrier higher order modulation and
bandwidth variable wavelength selective switches have led to a change in the optical …

Ultra-Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (UDWDM) is a candidate for future Passive
Optical Networks (PONs) to sustain the increase of access traffic, providing enhanced …

Architectural changes are required for the underlying networks to support the expected
Internet data traffic volume growth caused by the popularization of cloud services, 5G-based …

Elastic optical network (EON) has been proposed recently as a spectrum-efficient optical
layer to adapt to rapidly-increasing traffic demands instead of current deployed wavelength …

This paper introduces Split Spectrum, which enhances elastic optical networking by splitting
a bulk traffic demand into multiple channels, when a single-channel transmission is …

To efficiently support the transport of sub-1-Gbps services, an optical service unit (OSU)-
based metro-optimized optical transport network (M-OTN) technology framework is …
