Dimecres 18 de maig - Xerrada "Sliceable bandwidth variable transceivers based on optical OFDM technology"

El dimecres 18 de maig tindrà lloc a l'EETAC una xerrada titulada "Sliceable bandwidth variable transceivers based on optical OFDM technology" a càrrec de Michela Svaluto Moreolo. Hi esteu tots convidats!

Time and place: 18:00 h., classroom 128B

Abstract: The sliceable bandwidth variable transceiver (S-BVT) is a key data plane enabling element to face the challenges of the rapid growth of traffic and services to be supported by future optical networks. The S-BVT can be adaptive to multiple rate, format, reach and flow by a software-defined configuration of its elements, parameters, functions and operation modes, according to the channel profile, transmission impairments and traffic demand. The adoption of optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) as transmission technology facilitates flexibility, adaptability and other advanced functionalities in software-defined and elastic optical networks.

In this talk, the S-BVT concept will be illustrated and its multiple functionalities described. The building blocks of a multi-adaptive S-BVT based on OFDM will be provided and design alternatives discussed. Furthermore, the experimental platform for optical OFDM systems (EOS) within the CTTC ADRENALINE testbed will be presented.

BIO: Michela Svaluto Moreolo received the M.Sc. degree (with honors) in electronics engineering and the Ph.D. degree in telecommunications engineering from University Roma Tre, Rome, Italy, in 2003 and 2007, respectively.
