— Prior work has shown that network capacity efficiency decreases significantly as a network’s topology becomes sparse. Meta-mesh restoration was proposed in prior work as a me...
High efficiency in capacity utilization and fast restoration are two primary goals of survivable design in optical networks. Shared backup path protection has been shown to be effi...
The throughput of wireless networks can be significantly improved by multi-channel communications compared with single-channel communications since the use of multiple channels ca...
In WDM networks, it is important to protect connections against link failures due to the high bandwidth provided by a fiber link. Although many p-cycle based schemes have been pro...
—The concept of p-cycle (preconfigured protection cycle) allows fast and efficient span protection in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) mesh networks. To design p-cycles f...
