Abstract:
We evaluate the resource efficiency of Mode Group Division Multiplexing (MGDM) with shared path protection (SPP) in optical networks. On our case studies, SPP with MGDM obtains significant savings in terms of both additional backup spectrum occupation and MIMO-computing resources compared to other few-mode-transmission scenarios.
