SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OPTICAL SYSTEM MARGIN ALLOCATION
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- obtaining optical network topology information of an optical network;
generating, based on the optical network topology information, an optical model to represent the optical network;
provisioning a new optical connection within the optical network;
in response to provisioning the new optical connection;
determining, using the optical model, a first bit error rate (BER) of the new optical connection of the optical network;
determining, using the optical network providing the new optical connection, a second BER of the new optical connection;
determining, based on the first BER and the second BER, a BER excursion parameter of the new optical connection;
training a margin allocator comprising a recurrent neural network (RNN) based on the BER excursion parameter of the new optical connection, and the first BER of the new optical connection;
comparing the first BER of the new connection and a required optical margin to a threshold to determine a reliability of the new optical connection; and
allocating, using the margin allocator, the required optical margin for additional optical connections of the optical network.

Abstract
A system and method for generating, based on optical network topology information, an optical model to represent an optical network; provisioning a new optical connection within the optical network: determining, using the optical model, a first bit error rate (BER) of the new optical connection; determining, using the optical network providing the new optical connection, a second BER of the new optical connection; determining, based on the first and the second BER, a BER excursion parameter of the new optical connection; training a margin allocator based on the BER excursion parameter of the new optical connection, and the first BER of the new optical connection; comparing the first BER of the new connection and a required optical margin to a threshold to determine a reliability of the new optical connection; and allocating, using the margin allocator, the required optical margin for additional optical connections of the optical network.
