For optical network operators, this provides a cost-effective upgrade strategy balancing performance and power savings.
The paper investigates selective deployment of bidirectional hollow-core fibers in hybrid networks, showing that upgrading 50% of links yields at least a 40% throughput increase and captures 85% of the power reduction of a full upgrade.
We investigate selectively deploying bidirectional transmission in hybrid Hollow-Core Fiber (HCF) networks. Upgrading 50% of links to bidirectional HCF yields at least a 40% throughput increase compared to unidirectional SMF and captures 85% of the power consumption reduction of a full unidirectional HCF network upgrade.
