Programmable Availability in Photonic Network by Adaptive Selection of Forward Error Correction and Parallel Mapping into Flexible Ethernet Calendars

We propose a novel network design scheme which realizes programmable availability in photonic network to meet various KPIs of 5G/6G network slices. The scheme consists of novel FEC selection, data mapping, and route diversity accommodation algorithms to achieve variable availability. We successfully confirmed programmable availability in numerical simulations in COST266 model network.
