  • Network resource optimization based on time-varying traffic in optical networks
    Patent number: 10623126
    Abstract: Systems and methods of network resource optimization based on time-varying traffic in an optical network with a filterless architecture include determining traffic variations based on the time-varying traffic in the optical network; and adjusting one or more of transceivers and wavelengths between nodes in the optical network based on the traffic variations and using the filterless architecture. The adjusting minimizes the number of the transceivers and the wavelengths based on the traffic variations and the time-varying traffic. The optical network can geographically span multiple time zones, contributing to the time-varying traffic.
