Meta-Heuristic Framework for Designing Filterless Horseshoe Networks with P2MP Transceivers

The deployment of point-to-multipoint (P2MP) transceivers in metro-aggregation networks requires meeting multiple design criteria. This article presents a constrained meta-heuristic optimization framework tailored for this task and demonstrates that P2MP transceivers enable cost savings compared to point-to-point (P2P) transceivers when considering both transceivers and amplifiers.
