Abstract— Wavelength converters simplify the wavelength assignment problem in virtual topology design in optical networks and increase the utilization of the fiber bandwidth. Ho...
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 ...
A fundamental assumption underlying most studies of optical burst switched (OBS) networks is that full wavelength conversion is available throughout the network. In practice, howev...
In the present paper routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) in optical WDM networks is discussed. Previous techniques on based on the integer linear programming and graph coloring...
