Novel Strategies for Sparse Regenerator Placement and Allocation in Translucent Optical Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we propose one allocation strategy and two strategies for sparse regenerator placement in translucent optical networks, namely Most Used Regenerator Placement (MURP) and Most Simultaneous Used Regenerator Placement (MSURP). The novel regenerators placement algorithms are compared with other ones presented in literature. They are tested on the proposed regenerator allocation algorithm. We investigate the behavior of the these algorithms under different load values and numbers of translucent nodes. The MU-RP obtained good results in relation to the algorithms presented in literature and the MSURP showed the best results in all cases. Keywords— Optical Translucent Networks, Regenerator Allocation, Regenerator Placement, Sparse Regeneration.

Comparison of Opaque and Translucent WDM Networks with Different Regenerator-Placement Strategies under Static and Dynamic Traffic
In this paper we compare the performance of opaque and translucent Optical Transport Networks (OTNs) taking into account different regenerator placement strategies. The translucent approach achieves noticeable results under static traffic in terms of saving of deployed resources. On the other hand in the dynamic scenario a translucent OTN suffers from fewer resources and may display high blocki...
متن کاملAn analysis of Regenerator Placement strategies for a Translucent OBS network architecture
Most research works in optical burst switching (OBS) networks do not take into account the impact of physical layer impairments (PLIs) either by considering fully transparent (i.e., using optical 3R regeneration) or opaque (i.e., electrical 3R regeneration) networks. However, both solutions are not feasible for different reasons. In this paper, we propose a novel translucent OBS (T-OBS) network...
متن کاملDynamic routing in translucent WDM optical networks
Translucent WDM optical networks use sparse placement of regenerators to overcome the impairments and wavelength contention introduced by fully transparent networks, and achieve a performance close to fully opaque networks with much less cost. Our previous study proved the feasibility of translucent networks using sparse regeneration technique. We addressed the placement of regenerators based o...
متن کاملDynamic lightpath provisioning with signal quality guarantees in survivable translucent optical networks.
This paper studies the problem of signal-quality-guaranteed lightpath provisioning in survivable translucent optical networks under dynamic traffic. A new protection scheme, called regeneration-segment protection (RSP), is proposed. Provisioning approaches with shared path protection and shared RSP are presented. Two main signal quality constraints are integrated with the provisioning problem. ...
متن کاملRegenerator Location Problem in Flexible Optical Networks
In this study we introduce the regenerator location problem in flexible optical networks (RLP-FON). With a given traffic demand, RLP-FON tries to solve the regenerator placement, routing, bandwidth allocation and modulation selection problems jointly to satisfy data transfer demands with the minimum number of regenerators. We propose a novel branch and price algorithm for this challenging probl...
