Abstract

The disclosure presents a comprehensive framework designed to manage algorithmic updates in optical Interface Modules (IM), ensuring network stability during software upgrades by delaying potentially disruptive changes until a coordinated recalibration occurs. This method introduces robust communication between IM cards and network element controllers, facilitating precise control over calibration processes, including direction-specific distinctions. It addresses multiple operational scenarios—such as Optical Channel Monitoring (OCM) data handling, Amplified Spontaneous Emission (ASE) adjustments, Raman pump calibration, and band-specific updates in multi-band deployments. Furthermore, the framework supports opportunistic service-affecting upgrades, like FPGA changes, by aligning them with suitable maintenance windows, while historical calibration data ensures autonomous decision-making by IM cards, enhancing overall network reliability and flexibility.
