—Existing research demonstrated that an effective Routing and Wavelength Assignment (RWA) scheme and a wavelength converter placement algorithm are the two primary vehicles for i...
In this paper, we investigate the dynamic RWA problem in networks comprising of all-optical switches based on the multi-granular architecture (MG_DRWA). With this adaptive archite...
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...
In this paper, we study a new concept of traffic grooming in wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) ring networks that aims at eliminating both the bandwidth underutilization and ...
: In this paper, we propose an architecture of Optical Burst Switched WDM ring network. In our proposed OBS ring network, every node is equipped with one tunable transmitter and on...
