Research:
The idea is to develop an algorithm capable of significantly reducing the losses caused by spectral fragmentation in elastic optical networks by using information about the traffic. This information is basically the sizes (in number of slots) of the connections demanded in each route, and the respective arrival rates. This information can be known in advance (simpler case), or captured in real time with machine learning techniques (more realistic case in the so-called “real world”). This research has already generated a PhD Thesis in its preliminary phase, focused on incremental traffic; and is generating another considering dynamic traffic on a single link. At the moment, it is also generating a communication of invention to Inova, but no team is involved yet.
