Abstract
This paper proposes an Integer Linear Programming (ILP) framework to optimize the multi-period planning of metro-aggregation networks exploiting both point-to-multipoint coherent pluggable transceivers and a filterless line system architecture. We investigate several planning strategies to minimize cost while also considering traffic prediction and operational expenditures. The results of a reference network provide evidence of transceiver cost reductions between 20% and 32% compared to the point-to-point approach over a five-year planning period.
