Optimization Strategies are methods used to improve system efficiency, accuracy, or resource use. NEC Labs America employs optimization strategies across AI, optical networking, and sensing. These include gradient-based algorithms, heuristic search, and reinforcement learning. Optimization Strategies enable researchers to improve scalability, reduce costs, and accelerate performance in applications ranging from healthcare to smart cities.
This paper outlines QoT-driven optimization strategies in coherent fiber-optic WDM networks, addressing distinct transmission scenarios, QoT metrics, control-plane methodologies, and emerging trends to enhance network reliability, flexibility and capacity.
