Multicast Routing and Wavelength Assignment in WDM Mesh Networks with Sparse Splitting
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper routing and wavelength assignment for supporting multicast traffic is investigated in WDM mesh networks under sparse splitting constrain. This problem is generally solved in two phases respectively with the purpose of minimizing the number of wavelengths required. Alternative routing is first proposed to route each session by pre-computing a set of candidate light-forests. Then wavelength assignment is formulated as a coloring problems by constructing a conflict graph. Potential heuristic algorithms are proposed.

Protecting Multicast Sessions in WDM Optical Mesh Networks
Recent advances in wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) technology are expected to facilitate bandwidth-intensive multicast applications. However, a single fiber (bundle) cut on such a network can disrupt the transmission of information to several destination nodes on a “light tree”-based multicast session. Thus, it is imperative to protect multicast sessions e.g., by reserving resources alon...

Multicast routing is one of the most important services in Multi Radio Multi Channel (MRMC) Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN). Multicast routing performance in WMNs could be improved by choosing the best routes and the routes that have minimum interference to reach multicast receivers. In this paper we want to address the multicast routing problem for a given channel assignment in WMNs. The channels...
