—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...
All-optical packet switching is a promising candidate for future high-speed switching. However, due to the absence of optical Random Access Memory, the traditional Virtual Output ...
— Crosstalk originating from optical switching devices and demultiplexers can be the dominant physical impairment in large all-optical networks. When a centralized network contro...
We consider all-optical networks with shortest-path routing that use wavelength-division multiplexing and employ wavelength conversion at specific nodes in order to maximize their...
Abstract— This paper studies the problem of designing survivable optical wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) networks. A wavelength-routed wide area backbone network supporting...
