Estimating lightpath Quality of Transmission (QoT) is crucial in network design and service provisioning. Recent studies have turned to Machine Learning (ML) techniques to improve the accuracy of QoT estimation. We distinguish two categories of solutions: the first category aims to build ML-based QoT estimation models that outperform the analytical model while the second category uses ML algorithms to reduce uncertainties on parameters provided as input to analytical model. In this overview, we describe the solutions in each category and discuss their practical feasibility and added benefit for operational networks.
We show here the efficiency of neural network to assist the linear DSP for mitigating 200G DP-16QAM transmission system impairments. We measure up to 1-dB Q-factor improvement in our Nx100-km G.652 fiber link experiment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
