We propose a pointer network-based joint routing, modulation format, and spectrum allocation (PtrNet-RMSA) scheme to optimize the network capacity in elastic optical networks (EONs). Specifically, for a service request, EON spectra are first split into multiple spectrum window planes (SWPs), regarding various numbers of contained frequency slots (FSs). Then, over each SWP, a lightpath with an optimal estimated quality of transmission (QoT) is generated using a PtrNet-based routing agent. Further, different modulation formats are verified for the generated lightpath over the considered SWP, with respect to a calculated QoT threshold, to check whether a specific preforward error correction (FEC) requirement can be satisfied. Finally, two heuristic approaches, first fit and highest fit, are applied in the joint RMSA to select an optimal lightpath of an SWP and modulation format. To evaluate the efficiency of the PtrNet-RMSA scheme, extensive simulations were conducted in EONs with dynamic traffic. Results show that the proposed PtrNet-RMSA scheme can significantly improve the network capacity with various network topologies, compared with two benchmarks.

Emerging use cases with demanding bandwidth and latency requirements, as well as the challenge of reducing power consumption, are driving the need for evolution in optical network architectures. An all-photonics metro-access converged network (APN) aims to actualize a flat architecture by expanding dense wavelength-division-multiplexing (DWDM) metro networks into access areas. The APN flexibly and dynamically provides optical connectivity between any two points, even across the boundaries between access and metro areas according to individual application requirements and traffic-load status. To actualize and further evolve the APN concept, several technical challenges regarding access nodes, defined as Photonic Gateways (GWs), still remain. From an access node functionality perspective, first, the Photonic GW should forward various types of optical paths. Unlike reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexers in current metro networks, which are specifically designed to cross-connect DWDM signals, the Photonic GW needs to handle various lights and optical signals, including short-reach applications and emerging non-communication use cases. Second, the Photonic GW should provide remote control channels to user terminals (UTs) in a more scalable and cost-effective manner within the node-footprint and power-consumption constraints. Remote and in-channel UT control is required to place flexibly the endpoints of a wavelength path, i.e., UT, beyond the control-plane network. Then, from the controller perspective, the physical connectivity between the newly connected UT and the access-side port of the Photonic GW should be autonomously identified for plug-and-play operation. Since UTs are widely distributed within an access area, there is a need for an initial connection method that does not require timing adjustments to connect to the APN between newly connected UTs. This paper presents an extension to the APN architecture that allows the Photonic GW to increase the types of accommodable optical paths and to enhance the scale of remote UT control. This paper also proposes an advanced initial connection method that works even when multiple UTs are simultaneously connected to the APN. The extension to the APN architecture and the initial connection method are verified through experiments based on a Photonic GW prototype that fully complies with the extended APN architecture and comprises four functionally disaggregated units, 100-Gb/s C-band DWDM digital coherent UTs, and 25-Gb/s O-band non-DWDM intensity modulation and direct detection UTs. A 10-gigabit-capable symmetric passive optical network is adopted for remote UT control. The proposed initial connection method eliminates the connection interval of 6 s or more between newly connected UTs and achieves guard time-free operation.
带宽和延迟要求苛刻的新兴用例以及降低功耗的挑战正在推动光网络架构的发展。全光子城域接入融合网络（APN）旨在通过将密集波分复用（DWDM）城域网扩展到接入区域来实现扁平化架构。APN 可灵活、动态地提供任意两点之间的光连接，甚至可根据个别应用需求和流量负载状态跨越接入区和城域网之间的界限。要实现并进一步发展 APN 概念，接入节点（定义为光子网关 (GW)）仍面临着一些技术挑战。从接入节点功能的角度来看，首先，光子网关应转发各种类型的光路径。与当前城域网中专门为交叉连接 DWDM 信号而设计的可重构光分插复用器不同，光子网关需要处理各种光信号，包括短距离应用和新兴的非通信用例。其次，光子全球网络应在节点占地面积和功耗限制范围内，以更具可扩展性和成本效益的方式为用户终端（UT）提供远程控制通道。需要进行远程和信道内 UT 控制，以便灵活地将波长路径的端点（即 UT）置于控制平面网络之外。然后，从控制器的角度来看，新连接的 UT 与光子全球网接入侧端口之间的物理连接应能自主识别，以便即插即用。由于 UT 在接入区域内分布广泛，因此需要一种无需调整时序的初始连接方法来连接新连接的 UT 之间的 APN。本文对 APN 架构进行了扩展，使光子全球网能够增加可容纳的光路类型，并提高远程 UT 控制的规模。本文还提出了一种先进的初始连接方法，即使多个 UT 同时连接到 APN 也能正常工作。本文通过基于光子 GW 原型的实验验证了 APN 架构的扩展和初始连接方法，该原型完全符合扩展 APN 架构，包括四个功能分解单元、100-Gb/s C 波段 DWDM 数字相干 UT 和 25-Gb/s O 波段非 DWDM 强度调制和直接检测 UT。远程 UT 控制采用万兆能力的对称无源光网络。所提出的初始连接方法消除了新连接 UT 之间 6 秒或更长的连接间隔，实现了无守卫时间操作。

In this work, we experimentally demonstrate a ${100};{rm Gb/s/}lambda$ downstream transmission link for coherent passive optical networks (PONs) up to 50 km, achieving an optical power budget of 29 dB through polarization multiplexing (PolMux) of two 50 Gb/s channels using multiband carrierless amplitude phase modulation (multiCAP) and optical single side band (OSSB) modulation. Additionally, we introduce a separate PolMux 50 Gb/s link that presents an optical power budget of 38.7 dB. Both links have been achieved using a simplified polarization-demultiplexing heterodyne coherent receiver. The robustness of the system is experimentally evaluated by analyzing its response to various input states of polarization. The transmission has been accomplished using 10 GHz electrical bandwidth devices at both the transmission and receiving ends, thereby paving the way for low-cost 100G links suitable for applications such as PONs.

Multigigabit per second satellite-to-ground communications are evolving owing to free-space optical (FSO) communications. They benefit greatly from the use of commercial off-the-shelf field-programmable gate arrays, which offer higher performance than their space-grade counterparts. However, these capabilities are severely diminished in the case of improper implementation of radiation mitigation schemes not being properly assessed. Although these schemes have been improved over the years, they can be further optimized. Therefore, this study proposes, to our knowledge, a new protocol-aware approach, tailored for FSO satellite downlinks, to classify the criticality of radiation-induced errors. This approach can achieve a reduction in overhead by nearly an order of magnitude compared to current protection schemes.

The non-orthogonal multiple access-passive optical network (NOMA-PON) is facing the dual security threats of primary user interference and unauthorized third-party user eavesdropping, so efficient data security enhancement techniques are crucial. To solve these problems, we propose a fixed-point extended (FE)-logistic chaotic mapping to reduce the computational complexity while employing a two-dimensional (2D) cellular automata (CA) and Turing pattern (TP) cascading scramble (CA-TPCS) encryption algorithm to further improve the sensitivity of the NOMA-PON system. The CA-TPCS consists of 2D-CA dynamic bit encryption and Turing symbol substitution (TSS). By using FE chaos to construct 2D-CA and adopting index sort to extract the TSS matrix, dynamic diffusion of bits and scrambling of a 2D symbol matrix are achieved. To ensure the key privacy, we employ a dual key mechanism, and uplink data is introduced as the private key. To verify the feasibility of the proposed method, a simulation validation is built on a 17.6 Gb/s power division multiplexing-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (PDM-OFDM) NOMA-PON system transmitted over 25 km standard single mode fiber (SSMF). The results show that the proposed scheme has no effect on the optimal power allocation rate (PAR) values and the values are all 3. Meanwhile, the receiver sensitivity gains of 0.2 and 0.3 dB are obtained for high-power and low-power users after encryption. The ciphertext has good diffusion and statistical properties, and the key space is flexibly controlled by the FE precision $f$ , the length $l$ of the transmitted bit, and the size $T$ of the TP, with the value of ${2^{2f + l + T times T}}$ . The results show that the proposed scheme is not only very compatible with PDM technology but also can realize the dual defense of internal aggression and external aggression. It has a good application prospect in the future NOMA-PON.
非正交多址无源光网络（NOMA-PON）面临着主用户干扰和未经授权的第三方用户窃听的双重安全威胁，因此高效的数据安全增强技术至关重要。为了解决这些问题，我们提出了一种定点扩展（FE）-逻辑混沌映射来降低计算复杂度，同时采用二维（2D）蜂窝自动机（CA）和图灵模式（TP）级联扰码（CA-TPCS）加密算法来进一步提高 NOMA-PON 系统的灵敏度。CA-TPCS 由 2D-CA 动态位加密和图灵符号置换（TSS）组成。通过使用 FE 混沌构建 2D-CA 和采用索引排序提取 TSS 矩阵，实现了比特的动态扩散和 2D 符号矩阵的加扰。为确保密钥的私密性，我们采用了双密钥机制，并引入上行数据作为私钥。为了验证所提方法的可行性，我们在通过 25 千米标准单模光纤（SSMF）传输的 17.6 Gb/s 功率分复用-正交频分复用（PDM-OFDM）NOMA-PON 系统上进行了仿真验证。结果表明，拟议方案对最佳功率分配率（PAR）值没有影响，其值均为 3。同时，加密后高功率和低功率用户的接收器灵敏度分别提高了 0.2 和 0.3 dB。密文具有良好的扩散性和统计性，密钥空间由FE精度$f$、传输比特长度$l$和TP大小$T$灵活控制，其值为{2^{2f + l + T times T}}$。结果表明，所提出的方案不仅与 PDM 技术有很好的兼容性，而且可以实现内部攻击和外部攻击的双重防御。该方案在未来的 NOMA-PON 中具有良好的应用前景。

Operators are constantly faced with the need to increase optical-network capacity to accommodate rapid traffic growth while minimizing the cost-per-bit and power-per-bit. The drastic reduction of the power consumption of IP routers and ZR/ZR+ pluggable transponders seen in the past several years has renewed the interest in “opaque” optical-network architectures, where no optical bypassing is allowed. In this work, we aim to quantify and compare the power consumption of four “IP over wavelength division multiplexing” (IPoWDM) transport network architectures employing ZR/ZR+ modules versus long-haul muxponders, considering different grooming, regeneration, and optical bypassing capabilities. We first propose a power consumption model for different IPoWDM node architectures with ZR/ZR+ modules and long-haul muxponders. Then, to obtain the power consumption of different architectures, we propose a compact auxiliary-graph-based network-design algorithm extensible to different network architectures. Moreover, we investigate how the continuous decrease in the power consumption of ZR/ZR+ and IP routers can impact the power consumption of different architectures through a sensitivity analysis. Illustrative numerical results on networks of different sizes show that, despite drastic reductions of power consumption at the IP layer, optical bypassing is still the most power-efficient solution, reducing consumption by up to 48%.
运营商一直面临着提高光网络容量的需求，以适应流量的快速增长，同时最大限度地降低每比特成本和每比特功耗。在过去几年中，IP 路由器和 ZR/ZR+ 可插拔转发器的功耗大幅降低，这重新激发了人们对 "不透明 "光网络架构的兴趣，在这种架构中不允许光旁路。在这项工作中，我们旨在量化和比较采用 ZR/ZR+ 模块的四种 "IP over wavelength division multiplexing"（IPoWDM）传输网络架构与长途多路复用器的功耗，同时考虑到不同的疏导、再生和光旁路能力。我们首先提出了采用 ZR/ZR+ 模块和长途多路复用器的不同 IPoWDM 节点架构的功耗模型。然后，为了获得不同架构的功耗，我们提出了一种基于辅助图的紧凑型网络设计算法，该算法可扩展到不同的网络架构。此外，我们还通过敏感性分析研究了 ZR/ZR+ 和 IP 路由器功耗的持续下降如何影响不同架构的功耗。不同规模网络的示例性数值结果表明，尽管 IP 层的功耗大幅降低，但光旁路仍然是最省电的解决方案，最多可降低 48% 的功耗。

A modern field-programmable gate array (FPGA) card can be equipped with high-bandwidth memory and high-bandwidth optical interconnection networks. This paper presents an in-network stable radix sorter on an eight-FPGA cluster. Each custom Stratix10 MX2100 FPGA card has up to 819-Gbps memory bandwidth ( ${51.2};{rm Gbps} times {16};{rm channels}$ ) and up to 800-Gbps network bandwidth ( ${25};{rm Gbps} times {32};{rm channels}$ ) with eight custom embedded optical modules. Our radix sorter for a 32-bit key range consists of eight 4-bit counting sorts optimized to in-network processing. Each counting sort needs only one memory read/write access for improving its throughput. We demonstrated a sorting throughput of 37.2 GB/s and an energy efficiency of 9.2 MB/J for 32-bit key range and 16-GiB data size using eight memory channels with 409.6 Gbps memory bandwidth per FPGA. It can scale up to 256 FPGAs with a sorting throughput of 983 GB/s for a 32-bit key range and 512-GiB data size.

We demonstrated a sorting throughput of 37.2 GB/s and an energy efficiency of 9.2 MB/J for 32-bit key range and 16-GiB data size using eight memory channels with 409.6 Gbps memory bandwidth per FPGA. It can scale up to 256 FPGAs with a sorting throughput of 983 GB/s for a 32-bit key range and 512-GiB data size.","PeriodicalId":50103,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optical Communications and Networking","volume":"17 1","pages":"A34-A45"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142595904","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
Fiber optical communication networks are the backbone of our interconnected digital environments. Motivated by vendor neutrality and better utilization of the vacant optical spectrum in dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) networks, the operators are interested in implementing optical spectrum as a service (OSaaS) in their networks. In the OSaaS service model, the DWDM network operator grants the end customer direct access to the spectral resources in the DWDM system, and the transceiver equipment purchase, its operation, and future upgrades are the responsibility of the service end customer. If the spectral resources are available in adjacent network segments and the performance of the individual segment is adequate, OSaaS allows optical signals to be operated over thousands of kilometers, traversing multiple domains. These domains can be owned by different operators and built using different DWDM network technologies, utilizing different components and channel plans. This can pose a threat to the network integrity, as today, no dedicated demarcation points exist to police the received and transmitted signals as per the next domain’s requirements. This paper reviews the readily available equipment to provide demarcation functions between the operator domains and introduces an infrastructure-, DWDM technology-, vendor-, and domain-independent optical demarcation device called the network domain interface device (NeDID). We discuss how NeDID provides signal policing and compatibility monitoring, enabling a new, infrastructure-independent networking concept—a transparent optical overlay network (TOON). We further explain the ownership of the NeDID devices and investigate the techno-economic benefits of operating flexible and secure OSaaS over any underlying optical network infrastructure.
