Abstract:
We report the advantage of adaptive margin allocation on network upgrades while effectively utilizing the monitoring data from optical performance monitoring equipment. Results indicate domain knowledge-assisted adaptive margin allocation can save the margin requirement by 50% and initiate 57.3% less upgrades than hard margin scenarios.
