Experimental Demonstration of an Active Stateful PCE Performing Elastic Operations and Hitless Defragmentation
نویسندگان
چکیده
An experimental demonstration of active stateful PCE for flexgrid networks is presented. The PCE enables elastic operations on established connections and, when required, performs hitless defragmentation of spectrum resources. Experimental assessment, including shifting of 400Gbps four sub-carrier superchannel is shown.

Rapid and complete hitless defragmentation method using a coherent RX LO with fast wavelength tracking in elastic optical networks.
This paper demonstrates a rapid and full hitless defragmentation method in elastic optical networks exploiting a new technique for fast wavelength tracking in coherent receivers. This technique can be applied to a single-carrier connection or each of the subcarriers forming a super-channel. A proof-of-concept demonstration shows hitless defragmentation of a 10 Gb/s QPSK single-carrier connectio...
متن کاملDemonstration of a hitless bypass switch using nanomechanical perturbation for high-bitrate transparent networks.
We demonstrate an optical hitless bypass switch based on nanomechanical proximity perturbation for high-bitrate transparent networks. Embedded in a single-level pi-imbalanced Mach-Zehnder interferometer, the two nanomechanical-based Deltabeta-directional couplers permit broadband signal rerouting on-chip, while the selected wavelength remains unaffected at all times for optical filter reconfigu...
متن کاملCorrelation between traffic granularity and defragmentation periodicity in elastic optical networks
While elastic optical network technologies have emerged as promising solutions for future ultra-high speed optical transmission, the unavoidable spectral fragmentation problem that appears in such networks significantly degrades their performance. In light of this, spectral defragmentation technologies have been introduced in elastic optical networks, aiming to increase the spectrum utilization...
متن کاملSpectrum Defragmentation in Elastic Optical Networks
Elastic optical networks (EONs) provide fine bandwidth allocation granularity and enable scalable network management. In this paper, we review the strategies to alleviate spectrum fragmentation from both the preemptive and proactive perspectives. As for preemptive defragmentation, we investigate the characteristics of bandwidth fragmentation in EONs, and then discuss a fragmentation-aware routi...
متن کاملLogic with Unipolar Memristors - Circuits and Design Methodology
Memristors are a general name for a set of emerging resistive switching technologies. These two terminal devices are characterized by a varying resistance, which is controlled by the voltage or current applied to them. The resistance state of a memristor is nonvolatile, and as such makes memristors attractive candidates for use as novel memory elements. Apart from their use for memory applicati...
