5G and its evolution towards 6G is unlocking new use cases that will require the reconsideration of existing network architectures operation. As be required to support service types radio protocol splits, traditional physical point connections need replaced with a transport up antenna site guarantee low latency services high bandwidth. Optical based key enabler realize such convergent network, ...

Network survivability is becoming an important issue and a topical subject in WDM optical mesh networks. Many works have studied network survivability. However, few works have focused on survivability in multi-domain optical networks. This paper reviews the literature on survivability against failures in multi-domain optical networks. The main objective of this study is to evaluate and analyze ...

In this paper, we present an assessment of the blocking performance in wavelength routing optical networks with degree-three topologies of minimum diameter. It is analysed a general family of degree-three topologies, of which the chordal ring family is a particular case. Performance results show that all topologies of absolute minimum diameter have exactly the same path blocking probabilities. ...
