Probabilistic spectrum Gaussian noise estimate for random bandwidth traffic
- 2019
-
In: IET Conference Publications. - : Institution of Engineering and Technology. ; 2019
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- A probabilistic spectrum Gaussian noise (PSGN) model is proposed to predict the nonlinear noise for random bandwidth traffic in long-haul elastic optical networks. The model reduces the noise estimate 9.1% on average compared to the standard Gaussian noise model applied to the maximum bandwidth.

Static resource allocation for dynamic traffic
- 2019

In: IET Conference Publications. - : Institution of Engineering and Technology. - 9781839530074 ; 2019
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- A flexible offline probabilistic (FOP) algorithm is designed to aggressively accommodate random bandwidth traffic demands in long-haul networks. Compared to algorithms that configure demands according to their maximum bandwidth, the FOP algorithm can save 15% of the spectrum used, accommodating over 99% of the throughput demand.

Conditions for a Monotonic Channel Capacity
- 2015
-
In: IEEE Transactions on Communications. - : Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). - 0090-6778 .- 1558-0857. ; 63:3, s. 738-748

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Motivated by results in optical communications, where the performance can degrade dramatically if the transmit power is sufficiently increased, the channel capacity is characterized for various kinds of memoryless vector channels. It is proved that for all static point-to-point channels, the channel capacity under an equal-power constraint is a nondecreasing function of power. As a consequence, maximizing the mutual information over all input distributions with a certain power is for such channels equivalent to maximizing it over the larger set of input distributions with upperbounded power. The channel coding theorem is formally proved for an equal-power constraint. For interference channels such as optical wavelength-division multiplexing systems, the primary channel capacity is always nondecreasing with power if all interferers transmit with identical distributions as the primary user. Also, if all input distributions in an interference channel are optimized jointly, then the achievable sum-rate capacity is again nondecreasing. The results generalize to the channel capacity as a function of a wide class of costs, not only power.

Implications of information theory in optical fibre communications

Research review (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Recent decades have witnessed steady improvements in our ability to harness the information-carrying capability of optical fibres. Will this process continue, or will progress eventually stall? Information theory predicts that all channels have a limited capacity depending on the available transmission resources, and thus it is inevitable that the pace of improvements will slow. However, information theory also provides insights into how transmission resources should, in principle, best be exploited, and thus may serve as a guide for where to look for better ways to squeeze more out of a precious resource. This tutorial paper reviews the basic concepts of information theory and their application in fibre-optic communications.

Influence of Behavioral Models on Multiuser Channel Capacity
- 2015
-
In: Journal of Lightwave Technology. - 0733-8724 .- 1558-2213. ; 33:17, s. 3507-3515
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In order to characterize the channel capacity of a wavelength channel in a wavelength-division multiplexed (WDM) system, statistical models are needed for the transmitted signals on the other wavelengths. For example, one could assume that the transmitters for all wavelengths are configured independently of each other, that they use the same signal power, or that they use the same modulation format. In this paper, it is shown that these so-called behavioral models have a profound impact on the single-wavelength achievable information rate. This is demonstrated by establishing, for the first time, upper and lower bounds on the maximum achievable rate under various behavioral models, for a rudimentary WDM channel model.
