  • Methods for Low Crosstalk and Wavelength Tunability in Arrayed-Waveguide Grating for On-Silicon Optical Network
    Journal of Lightwave Technology, 2017
    Co-Authors: Stefano Tondini, Claudio Castellan, Mattia Mancinelli, Christophe Kopp, Lorenzo Pavesi
    Abstract:

    Arrayed waveguide gratings (AWGs) are used to accomplish complex functionalities in dense wavelength division multiplexing Networks, as well as in signal processing, measurement, characterization or sensing. In this work, we discuss the design and the experimental characterization of a 6 x 400 GHz channel-spaced AWG to be used as wavelength multiplexer/demultiplexer in a silicon-on-insulator based Optical Transport Network. We adopted a whiskered-shaped star coupler design to investigate how the reduction in the reflectivity of the free propagation region boundaries affects the overall performances of the AWG. We demonstrated 2.9 dB insertionloss, which does not include fiber coupling loss, and (-24.4 +/- 0.1) dB crosstalk for a design realized with a single etching technique. Moreover, we demonstrated an efficient fine-tuning (7.5 nm/W) of the spectral position of the AWG output channels.

  • Experimental evaluation of dynamic resource orchestration in multi-layer (packet over flexi-grid Optical) Networks
    Photonic Network Communications, 2020
    Co-Authors: Silvia Fichera, Raul Munoz, Ricard Vilalta, Ramon Casellas, Ricardo Martinez, Barbara Martini, Molka Gharbaoui, Piero Castoldi
    Abstract:

    Network services in 5G will be rolled out as pools of virtual Network functions (VNFs) exploiting the advantages of both software-defined Networking and Network function virtualization. In this context, 5G Network services are envisaged as ordered sequences of VNFs resulting in the so-called VNF Forwarding Graphs (VNFFGs). Such VNFs can be allocated over a number of distributed but interconnected data centers (DCs). In this work, a cloud/Network orchestrator is discussed to dynamically process and accommodate VNFFG requests over a pool of DCs interconnected by a multi-layer (packet/flexi-grid Optical) Transport Network infrastructure. Two different cloud and Network resource allocation algorithms are proposed aiming at: (1) minimizing the distance between the selected DCs and (2) minimizing the load (i.e., consumed cloud resources) of the chosen DCs. In the performance evaluation, the proposed algorithms are experimentally validated and compared on the CTTC ADRENALINE testbed.

  • EuCNC - The ADRENALINE testbed: An SDN/NFV packet/Optical Transport Network and edge/core cloud platform for end-to-end 5G and IoT services
    2017 European Conference on Networks and Communications (EuCNC), 2017
    Co-Authors: Raul Munoz, Josep Maria Fàbrega, Laia Nadal, Michela Svaluto Moreolo, Arturo Mayoral, Ricard Vilalta, Ramon Casellas, Ricardo Martinez, Fco. Javier Vílchez
    Abstract:

    The fifth generation of mobile Networks (5G) and the internet of Things (IoT) impose very stringent requirements to the Optical Transport Networks. On the one hand, high flexibility, ultra-low latency and high capacity, in order to support the forecasted 1000x growth in mobile data traffic with latencies below millisecond. On the other hand, massive edge and core cloud infrastructure integrated with the Transport Network to dynamically deploy NFV, MEC, and IoT analytics. This paper presents ADRENALINTE testbed, an SDN/NFV packet/Optical Transport Network and edge/core cloud platform for end-to-end 5G and IoT services.

  • Integrating Optical Transport Network testbeds and cloud platforms to enable end-to-end 5G and IoT services
    International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks, 2017
    Co-Authors: Raul Munoz, Arturo Mayoral, Ricard Vilalta, Ramon Casellas, Ricardo Martinez
    Abstract:

    This paper provides an overview of different experimental SDN/NFV control and orchestration architectures aiming at integrating the multi-layer (packet/Optical) Transport Networks and distributed DC infrastructures (core cloud, edge computing) of the ADRENALINE testbed. The proposed SDN/NFV solutions enable the development and testing of end-to-end 5G and IoT services supporting a wide variety of use cases from different vertical industries, such as automotive, e-health, energy, media or smart cities. To this end, the ADRENALINE testbed is adopting the following technologies to meet the stringent requirements of 5G and IoT; i) high-capacity, flexible and cost/energy-efficient software-defined Optical transmission technologies for access, metro and core Networks; ii) highly-scalable packet technologies for aggregation and switching of flows with quality of service (QoS); iii) core datacenters and edge computing for the deployment of virtualized Network functions (VNFs) and cloud services.
