Bridging the 6G Gap: Scaling Sustainable ROADM-Based IP-over-WDM via DSCM-Enabled Point-to-Multipoint Designs
Matin Rafiei Forooshani, Farhad Arpanaei, Hamzeh Beyranvand +5
This study compares transponder-based, Point-to-Point, and DSCM-based Point-to-Multipoint (PtMP) access-metro architectures. Findings demonstrate that PtMP IPoWDM significantly opt…
SixGman: An Open-Source Planner for Fixed 6G Hierarchical Optical Access-Core Networks
Matin Rafiei Forooshani, Farhad Arpanaei, Hamzeh Beyranvand +4
This paper introduces SixGman, an open-source optical network planning tool for evaluating access-metro-core aggregation network architectures. The framework integrates traffic gen…
Analyzing Ultra-Low Inter-Core Crosstalk Fibers in Band and Space Division Multiplexing EONs
F. Arpanaei, C. Natalino, M. Ranjbar Zefreh +10
In the ultra-low inter-core crosstalk working zone of terrestrial multi-band and multi-core fiber (MCF) elastic optical networks (EONs), the ICXT in all channels of all cores remai…
Synergizing Hyper-accelerated Power Optimization and Wavelength-Dependent QoT-Aware Cross-Layer Design in Next-Generation Multi-Band EONs
Farhad Arpanaei, Mahdi Ranjbar Zefreh, Yanchao Jiang +12
The extension of elastic optical networks (EON) to multi-band transmission (MB-EON) shows promise in enhancing spectral efficiency, throughput, and long-term cost-effectiveness for…
DRL-Assisted Dynamic QoT-Aware Service Provisioning in Multi-Band Elastic Optical Networks
Yiran Teng, Carlos Natalino, Farhad Arpanaei +4
We propose a DRL-assisted approach for service provisioning in multi-band elastic optical networks. Our simulation environment uses an accurate QoT estimator based on the GN/EGN mo…
MoleNetwork: A tool for the generation of synthetic optical network topologies
Alfonso Sánchez-Macián, Nataliia Koneva, Marco Quagliotti +6
Model networks and their underlying topologies have been used as a reference for techno-economic studies for several decades. Existing reference topologies for optical networks may…
