On multicasting in wavelength-routing mesh networks

This paper considers multicasting on wavelength-routing mesh optical networks. Although multicasting has been studied extensively in different network environments, multicasting in this environment is different, and more involved. The paper discusses the challenges of multicast support in optical wavelength routing networks, and reports on the advances made so far in this venue. The paper intro...

A Survey on Multicast Routing Approaches in Wireless Mesh Networks

Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) which mediates the broadband Internet access, have been recently received many attentions by the researchers. In order to increase capacity in these networks, nodes are equipped with multiple radios tuned on multiple channels emerging multi radio multi-channel WMNs (MRMC WMNs). Therefore, a vital challenge that poses in MRMC WMNs is how to properly assign channels ...

Blocking in Wavelength Routing Networks , Part II : Mesh Topologies

We study a class of circuit switched wavelength routing networks with xed or alternate routing and with random wavelength allocation. We present an iterative path decomposition algorithm to evaluate accurately and e ciently the blocking performance of such networks with and without wavelength converters. The path decomposition approach naturally captures the correlation of both link loads and l...

Blocking in Wavelength Routing Networks , Part II : Mesh

We study a class of circuit switched wavelength routing networks with xed or alternate routing and with random wavelength allocation. We present an iterative path decomposition algorithm to accurately and eeciently evaluate the blocking performance of such networks with and without wavelength converters. Our iterative algorithm analyzes the original network by decomposing it into single path su...
