Abstract
Non-linear physical layer impairments make the mathematical programming formulation of off-line impairment-aware (IA) Routing and Wavelength Assignment (RWA) problem to be non-linear. To alleviate that, this paper presents for the first time a statistical linear model to compute the Cross Phase Modulation (XPM) noise variance. Exhaustive evaluation reveals that the proposed linear model provides an accurate Q-factor estimation. An example of Integer Linear Programming (ILP) formulation integrating the XPM model is also given.
