EN This paper targets the lifetime-aware management of a set of optical line amplifiers (OLAs) in an optical network exploiting sleep mode (SM) in order to save energy. We first present a simple model to predict the OLA lifetime. We then provide different mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) formulations, which jointly consider energy saving and lifetime. The proposed MILP formulations are then solved on different realistic scenarios, by taking into account the spatial and temporal variations of traffic demands. Results show that our lifetime-aware approach outperforms classical energy saving ILP formulations, which instead tend to notably decrease the OLA lifetime. More important, the proposed approaches can achieve a good lifetime performance without consuming significantly more energy than purely energy-aware strategies.
