Abstract:
Aspects of optimized grooming of multiplexers of a communication network are presented. In an example method, an optimization value associated with each of a plurality of multiplexer configurations may be determined, wherein each of the plurality of multiplexer configurations includes a proposed assignment of each of a plurality of data channels to one of a plurality of inputs of a plurality of multiplexers. A multiplexer configuration having a highest-ranked optimization value of the plurality of multiplexer configurations may be identified and subsequently used to configure the multiplexers. Other potential aspects of the present disclosure are described in greater detail below.

Claim (Index 7):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein:\n a most recently identified multiplexer configuration comprises the identified multiplexer configuration; and the method further comprises, for each time period of a series of time periods:\n revising the most recently identified multiplexer configuration based on at least one simulated change in the plurality of data channels during the time period; \n determining a next optimization value associated with each of a next plurality of multiplexer configurations based on the revised multiplexer configuration; \n identifying, from the next plurality of multiplexer configurations, a next multiplexer configuration having a highest-ranked next optimization value of the next plurality of multiplexer configurations as the most recently identified multiplexer configuration; and \n advancing to a next time period in the series of time periods.
