Transparent WDM Network with Bitrate Tunable Optical OFDM Transponders
21 March 2010
: Reach estimations for several variable-bitrate OFDM schemes are presented and discussed in the framework of a transparent EU core network scenario. 44% reduction on OE interfaces is found compared to a fixed-bitrate 40Gb/s network. 2010 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (060.4256) Networks, network optimization, (060.4080) Modulation
