Energy Efficiency Analysis of Multilayer Networks with Time-Varying Traffic
Paper in proceeding, 2025

Global power consumption is growing each year, with a significant contribution from the ICT sector. Although the number of primary devices, such as ROADMs and routers, is usually constant, the number of active transceivers depends on the routing and allocation policy and can be tuned.
This work demonstrates how dynamic network optimization aided by traffic prediction leads to a 16% power saving, expressed as the number of active transceivers, and a 15% provisioned traffic increase.
