Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As the main network infrastructure, a new generation of optical networks is required to unleash the full potential of 5G and even 6G communications. To meet this need, various new services are springing up with the requirements of high-capacity, ultra-reliable, low latency, etc., spanning from access to core optical networks. This Special Issue will present a collection of papers with advanced solutions both at data and control plane in optical networks for new service supports in 5G or 6G with the performance improvements in terms of capacity, latency, reconfigurability, survivability, reliability, or simply scaling up the present mode of operation. In addition, we also encourage the submission of papers providing redesigns that feature in-built physical security, sub-linear bandwidth scaling costs, extremely low latency, and reconfigurability.
