  • Abstract
    We plan for the optical channel layer to minimize the required numbers of lit fibers and turned-on optical amplifiers through a Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) model and an efficient heuristic. Simulation studies indicate that the green communication-oriented effort can not only reduce the number of turned-on optical amplifiers but also the lit fibers.
