Abstract— A promising approach to the effective utilization of wavelength division multiplexed networks is to transfer data on an on-demand basis using fast wavelength reservati...
Emerging lambda-Grid systems employ wavelength-routed network with optical switches to enable dynamic on-demand lightpaths with multi-gigabit rate bandwidth to interconnect shared...
: A fundamental problem in communication networks is wavelength assignment (WA): given a set of routing paths on a network, assign a wavelength to each path such that the paths wit...
— 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...
— Crosstalk originating from optical switching devices and demultiplexers can be the dominant physical impairment in large all-optical networks. When a centralized network contro...
— We present an analytical tool to enhance the blocking performance in the circuit-switched wide-area optical wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) networks with no wavelength co...
—For a large-scale mesh network with dynamic traffic, maintaining the global state information in a centralized fashion is impractical. Hence, distributed schemes are needed to ...
—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...
—By taking advantage of the multiple wavelength provisioning capability, WDM PON dramatically enlarges its capacity as compared to TDM PON. The capacity of a WDM PON system depen...
