In optical transport networks algorithms dealing with the lightpath selection process select routes and assign wavelengths based on the routing information obtained from the networ...
Recent advances in telecommunication networks have allowed WDM to emerge as a viable solution to the ever-increasing demands of the Internet. In a wavelength-routed optical network...
Abstract--The traffic grooming problem is of high practical importance in emerging wide-area wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical networks, yet it is intractable for any ...
This paper addresses the problem of routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) of static lightpath requests in wavelength routed optical networks. The objective is to minimize the nu...
One of the major concerns in optical networks is the bandwidth underutilization problem. In fact, as WDM technology keeps maturing, there is a bandwidth gap between the transmissi...
