On the number of wavelengths and switches in all-optical networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
|We consider optical networks using wavelength division multiplexing, where the path a signal takes is determined by the network switches, the wavelength of the signal, and the location the signal originated. Therefore, a signal is routed through a combination of circuit switching and wavelength routing (assigning it a wavelength). We present a bound on the minimum number of wavelengths needed based on the connectivity requirements of the users and the number of switching states. In addition, we present a lower bound on the number of switching states in a network using a combination of circuit switching, wavelength routing, and frequency changing. The bounds hold for all networks with switches, wavelength routing, and wavelength changing devices. Several examples are presented including a network with near optimal wavelength re-use.

متن کاملWavelengths Requirement for Permutation Routing in All-Optical Multistage Interconnection Networks
Previous studies showed that the cross-talk problem on the all-optical networks exists at both links and switches of the networks. To solve the cross-talk problem at both links and switches, one approach is to assign the wavelengths to the communication paths so that the paths which receive the same wavelength are node-disjoint. Our goal is to minimize the number of wavelengths required for per...

We consider the problem of routing in networks employing all-optical routing technology. In such networks, information between nodes of the network is transmitted as light on ber-optic lines without being converted to electronic form in between. We consider switched optical networks that use the wavelength-division multiplexing (or WDM) approach. A WDM network consists of nodes connected by poi...
