Abstract:
Techniques for automatic bandwidth optimization of an optical communication channel in an optical network are provided. In one embodiment, a method of automatically optimizing bandwidth includes receiving, at a first optical network element, a first signal transmission transmitted according to a first set of transmission parameters over an optical communication channel established between the first optical network element and a second optical network element. The method includes determining a first quality of signal parameter associated with the first signal transmission and determining whether the first quality of signal parameter is worse than a predetermined quality of signal value. Upon determining that the first quality of signal parameter is not worse than the predetermined value, the method further includes transmitting a second set of transmission parameters to the second optical network element to further optimize the bandwidth of the optical communication channel.

Claim (Index 15):
An apparatus comprising:\n an optical transceiver configured to transmit and receive signal transmissions over an optical communication channel established with at least one optical network element; and at least one processor coupled with the optical transceiver, and configured to:\n receive a first signal transmission over the optical communication channel from the at least one optical network element, wherein the first signal transmission is transmitted according to a first set of transmission parameters; \n determine a first quality of signal parameter associated with the first signal transmission; \n determine whether the first quality of signal parameter is worse than a predetermined quality of signal value; \n upon determining that the first quality of signal parameter is not worse than the predetermined quality of signal value, transmit a second set of transmission parameters for the optical communication channel to the at least one optical network element, wherein the second set of transmission parameters are different than the first set of transmission parameters; \n receive a second signal transmission over the optical communication channel from the at least one optical network element according to the second set of transmission parameters; and \n determine a second quality of signal parameter associated with the second signal transmission, the first set of transmission parameters and the second set of transmission parameters are different from the first quality of signal parameters and the second quality of signal parameters.
