—In this paper, we study the routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) tasks in WDM rings with heterogeneous wavelength conversion capabilities. By heterogeneous, we mean that diff...
— This paper proposes optical wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) networks with limited wavelength conversion that can efficiently support lightpaths (connections) between nod...
A network with restoration capability requires spare capacity to be used in the case of failure. Optimization of spare capacity is to find the minimum amount of spare capacity for ...
A fundamental assumption underlying most studies of optical burst switched (OBS) networks is that full wavelength conversion is available throughout the network. In practice, howev...
