— 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...
—Most research works in routing and design of optical networks assume that the optical medium can carry signals without any bit error. However, the physical impairments on the op...
: Results describing the design trade-offs in bandwidth utilisation and wavelength re-use in optical burst-switched networks are reported. The effects of traffic statistics are ana...
—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...
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...
