Abstract:
An optical node may include D (D≥2) input ports, D output ports, and D degrees. Each degree may include an inbound M×N (M≥D, N≥2D) WSS and an outbound M×N WSS. Each inbound M×N WSS may include an input connected to one of the D input ports; inputs connected to outputs of inbound M×N WSSs of the other degrees; outputs connected to inputs of outbound M×N WSSs of the other degrees; outputs connected to inputs of inbound M×N WSSs of the other degrees; and a local drop port. Each outbound M×N WSS may include an output connected to one of the D input ports; outputs connected to inputs of outbound M×N WSSs of the other degrees; inputs connected to outputs of inbound M×N WSSs of the other degrees; inputs connected to outputs of outbound M×N WSSs of the other degrees; and a local add port.

Claim (Index 19):
The optical node architecture of  claim 17 , where N\u22652D+1, and where the optical node architecture further comprises:\n an expansion outbound WSS comprising:\n a set of outputs that connect to a set of inputs, each of a respective outbound M\u00d7N WSS of the D degrees; and \n at least one local add port.
