We address the issue of inapproximability of the wavelength assignment problem in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical networks. We prove that in an n-node WDM optical ne...
— Crosstalk originating from optical switching devices and demultiplexers can be the dominant physical impairment in large all-optical networks. When a centralized network contro...
In optical networks, the traditional routing problem is generally decoupled into two subproblems, the route selection and the wavelength assignment. Usual RWA (Routing and Wavelen...
: The maximum traffic load that can be supported by a wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) optical burst switched (OBS) network with dynamic wavelength allocation is studied. It i...
Efficient routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) in wavelength-routed all-optical networks is critical for achieving high efficiency over the backbone links. Extensive research ha...
