Abstract— Wavelength converters simplify the wavelength assignment problem in virtual topology design in optical networks and increase the utilization of the fiber bandwidth. Ho...
— We study the problem of determining the minimum number of limited range wavelength converters needed to construct strictly, wide-sense, and rearrangeably nonblocking optical cr...
Abstract-- Optical Networks with wavelength routing are expected to form the backbone in the next generation wide area networks. The traffic grooming problem in optical networks is...
In this paper, we consider the following question: what is the maximum number of entries that can be added to a partially lled latin square? The decision version of this question ...
— 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...
