Algorithm for raising OXC port count to meet traffic growth at minimum-cost
Kosuke Sato, Yojiro Mori, Hiroshi Hasegawa, Ken-ichi Sato · Optical Fiber Communication Conference · 2016
A new OXC configuration that yields hitless port-count expansion to meet traffic growth at minimum cost is presented. Numerical experiments verify the node configuration offers almost complete routing capability even though it uses small-degree WSSs.
