To minimize the number of wavelengths required by a multicast session in sparse light splitting Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) networks, a light-hierarchy structure, which ...
This paper addresses multicast routing in multi-hop optical networks employing wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM). We consider a model in which multicast communication requests...
—Most research works in routing and design of optical networks assume that the optical medium can carry signals without any bit error. However, the physical impairments on the op...
—In this paper, we formulate an optimization problem for the design of light-tree based logical topology in Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) networks. The problem is compri...
We address the problem of efficient circuit switching in wide area networks. The solution provided is based on finding optimal routes for lightpaths and semilightpaths. A lightpat...
