Abstract:Metro network operators aim to design scalable and cost-effective network architectures to address the capacity expansion due to ongoing traffic growth. While coherent transmission (e.g., at 100 Gbps and 200 Gbps) can address capacity growth, operators must also support legacy non-coherent transmission technology (e.g., at 10 Gbps). Therefore, operators must devise new practical solutions to jointly support new and legacy transmission technologies, while minimizing the network cost. This study investigated the… Show more
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.
