Internal switches in all-photonic networks do not perform data conversion into the electronic domain, thereby eliminating a potential capacity bottleneck, but the inability to per...
— We study the complexity of a spectrum of design problems for optical networks in order to carry a set of demands. Under wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) technology, deman...
—In the paper, we study the wavelength assignment problem in waveband switching (WBS) networks, which is composed of multi-granular optical cross-connect (MG-OXCs) interconnected...
