Machine Learning Applications for Short Reach Optical Communication

Abstract

With the rapid development of optical communication systems, more advanced techniques conventionally used in long-haul transmissions have gradually entered systems covering shorter distances below 100 km, where higher-speed connections are required in various applications, such as the optical access networks, inter- and intra-data center interconnects, mobile fronthaul, and in-building and indoor communications. One of the techniques that has attracted intensive interests in short-reach optical communications is machine learning (ML). Due to its robust problem-solving, decision-making, and pattern recognition capabilities, ML techniques have become an essential solution for many challenging aspects. In particular, taking advantage of their high accuracy, adaptability, and implementation efficiency, ML has been widely studied in short-reach optical communications for optical performance monitoring (OPM), modulation format identification (MFI), signal processing and in-building/indoor optical wireless communications. Compared with long-reach communications, the ML techniques used in short-reach communications have more stringent complexity and cost requirements, and also need to be more sensitive. In this paper, a comprehensive review of various ML methods and their applications in short-reach optical communications are presented and discussed, focusing on existing and potential advantages, limitations and prospective trends.

An Optimal SDN-Based Wavelength Allocation and Routing Method for 5G Network

“…At the same time, with the continuous improvement of the technical level, the all-optical network is becoming an important information transmission carrier of the global Internet backbone network by virtue of its own transmission characteristics. It is of broad interest [26,27], and the International Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) also defines the structure accordingly. e structure of the all-optical network based on SDN is shown in.…”

Digital Predistortion Based Experimental Evaluation of Optimized Recurrent Neural Network for 5G Analog Radio Over Fiber Links

“…Machine learning (ML) approaches have gained increased attention due to the demand for enhanced linearization to achieve superior outcomes [33,35,38,40,[42][43][44]. This growing interest is underscored by recent research conducted by Pereira et al, who explored ML algorithms for linearizing electrically amplified Radio over Fiber (RoF) systems [45].…”

Assessment of land cover changes using sentinel-2 satellite image data: A case study of Thanh Hoa coastal area, Viet Nam

“…LULC classification using optical satellite imagery has recently been successfully performed using a machine learning approach, which improves accuracy compared to more conventional classification techniques (Talukdar et al, 2020). Generally, there are four types of machine learning algorithms: supervised, unsupervised, semi-supervised, and reinforcement learning (Xie et al, 2022), nonetheless, supervised and unsupervised learning are the most popular. Supervised learning techniques include support vector machines (Cortes et al, 1995), random forests (Breiman, 2001), classification and regression trees (Breiman et al, 1984), artificial neural networks (Tim Hill et al, 1994), while other techniques unsupervised learning includes fuzzy c-means algorithms (Saman et al, 2014), K-means algorithms (Abbas et al, 2016).…”
