Abstract
Band division multiplexing technology is a promising medium-term transitional solution to deal with the traffic flood, by leveraging the existing optical fiber transmission infrastructure. Additionally, the deployment of multi-band optical networks requires updating and upgrading key components, such as multi-band amplifiers and multi-band optical cross-connects. From cost view, it would be a promising way for operators to expand transmission capacity on some of the links with high priority, which are used heavily. Therefore, the application scenario of this paper is positioned in the C-C+L hybrid optical networks. In this scenario, the introduction of the L-band brings additional inter-band stimulated Raman scattering (ISRS) which is a non-negligible nonlinear effect, leading new constraint for service provisioning. This paper proposes an ISRS-aware routing, band, modulation, and spectrum assignment (RBMSA) scheme, considering the impact of ISRS generated by new requests on existing requests. By implementing the SNR re-verification, not only the transmission quality of the current request can be realized, but also the service quality of the existing requests will not be seriously degraded to be unacceptable. A two-dimensional model of request bandwidth and duration is established for band selection. Priority is provided for arranging the requests in the L-band when it is available. For each single request, when the least number of slots required by adopting different modulation formats is the same, lower-order modulation is preferred to improve its SNR tolerance of this request under the ISRS impact. Simulation results indicate that the proposed scheme can effectively decrease the blocking probability, and improve the channel SNR for the successfully established requests.
