This paper addresses the problem of routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) of scheduled lightpath demands (SLDs) in wavelength routed optical networks with no wavelength converter...
— We present an analytical tool to enhance the blocking performance in the circuit-switched wide-area optical wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) networks with no wavelength co...
— As wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) evolves towards practical applications in optical transport networks, waveband switching (WBS) has been introduced to cut down the ope...
Recently a class of scalable multi-star optical networks is proposed in [2]. In this class of networks nodes are grouped into clusters. Each cluster employs a separate pair of bro...
A network with restoration capability requires spare capacity to be used in the case of failure. Optimization of spare capacity is to find the minimum amount of spare capacity for ...
