“…Based on the analysis of works [35] for calculation the complex parameter of energy consumption, the authors determined the main criteria that affect the energy consumption of information and communication systems: namely, the number and structure of nodes involved, type of transport technology, network architecture, size of the data block channel level, type of equipment used, number of intermediate optoelectronic transformations, type of switching, use of wave converters, number and type of regeneration points, number of WDM systems. On the basis of these criteria, a complex parameter of energy consumption of Formula (1) for homogeneous networks and Formula (2) for heterogeneous multilayer network was formed.…”
