Monitoring and Prediction of Intra-Crosstalk in All-Optical Network

Optical performance monitoring and optical network
management are essential in building a reliable, high-capacity, and
service-differentiation enabled all-optical network. One of the serious
problems in this network is the fact that optical crosstalk is additive,
and thus the aggregate effect of crosstalk over a whole AON may be
more nefarious than a single point of crosstalk. As results, we note a
huge degradation of the Quality of Service (QoS) in our network. For
that, it is necessary to identify and monitor the impairments in whole
network. In this way, this paper presents new system to identify and
monitor crosstalk in AONs in real-time fashion. particular, it proposes
a new technique to manage intra-crosstalk in objective to relax QoS
of the network.
