Abstract

This article analyzes architectures and techniques of the optical networks with taking into account the cognitive methodology based on continuous cycle “Observe–Orient–Plan–Decide–Act–Learn” and the ability of the cognitive systems adjust itself through an adaptive process by responding to new changes in the environment. Cognitive optical network architecture includes cognitive control layer with knowledge base for control of software–configurable devices as reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexers, flexible optical transceivers, software–defined receivers. Some techniques for cognitive optical networks as flexible–grid technology, broker–oriented technique, machine learning are examined. Software defined optical network and integration of wireless and optical networks with radio over fiber technique and fiber–wireless technique in the context of cognitive technologies are discussed.
