We address the issue of inapproximability of the wavelength assignment problem in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical networks. We prove that in an n-node WDM optical ne...
Abstract- This paper presents a RWA strategy based on the stochastic estimation of the Effective Number of Available Wavelengths (ENAW) along interdomain paths. We propose an appro...
—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...
Abstract— This paper studies the problem of designing survivable optical wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) networks. A wavelength-routed wide area backbone network supporting...
— In all-optical networks that use WDM technology it is often the case that several communication requests have to be blocked, due to bandwidth and technology limitations. Minimi...
