RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Artificial intelligence (AI) methods in optical networks: A comprehensive survey A1 Mata, Javier A1 Miguel Jiménez, Ignacio de A1 Durán Barroso, Ramón José A1 Merayo Álvarez, Noemí A1 Kumar Singh, Sandeep A1 Jukan, Admela A1 Chamania, Mohit K1 Red óptica K1 Inteligencia artificial K1 Optical network K1 Artificial intelligence AB Artificial intelligence (AI) is an extensive scientific discipline which enables computer systems to solve problems by emulating complex biological processes such as learning, reasoning and self-correction. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the application of AI techniques for improving performance of optical communication systems and networks. The use of AI-based techniques is first studied in applications related to optical transmission, ranging from the characterization and operation of network components to performance monitoring, mitigation of nonlinearities, and quality of transmission estimation. Then, applications related to optical network control and management are also reviewed, including topics like optical network planning and operation in both transport and access networks. Finally, the paper also presents a summary of opportunities and challenges in optical networking where AI is expected to play a key role in the near future.
