— As an optical signal propagates along a lightpath to its destination in distributed wavelength-routed optical networks, the signal’s quality is degraded by transmission impai...
— As an optical signal propagates along a lightpath to its destination in wavelength-routed optical networks (WRONs), the quality of service (QoS) will be degraded by transmissio...
—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...
— 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...
—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 ...
