In this paper, we proposed a novel OTSS-assisted optical network architecture
for smart-grid communication networks, which has unique requirements for
low-latency connections. Illustrative results show that, OTSS can provide
extremely better performance in latency and blocking probability than
conventional flexi-grid optical networks.Comment: IEEE Photonics Society 1st Place Best Poster Award, on
