Robust cognitive-GN BER estimator for dynamic WDM networks

We introduce and experimentally demonstrate a simple yet reliable and fast tool for estimating BER of lightpaths over uncompensated links. The model provides accurate estimates for capacity upgrade scenarios when modulation format order is increased.
