Sparse-partial wavelength conversion: Converter placement and wavelength assignment
Wavelength conversion has been shown as one of the key techniques to improve blocking performance in a wavelength-routed all-optical WDM network. Given that wavelength converters nowadays remain very expensive, how to make effective use of a limited number of wavelength converters becomes an important issue. In this paper, we present and analyze the Sparse-Partial Wavelength Conversion (SPWC) n...

متن کاملDesigning Scalable WDM Optical Interconnects Using Predefined Wavelength Conversion
This paper investigates the problem of designing scalable and cost-effective wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical interconnects. We propose a new design for WDM optical interconnect that has several advantages over existing designs. First, wavelength conversion occurs between two predefined wavelengths. This not only eliminates the need for expensive wide-range wavelength converters, ...
متن کاملDynamic WDM Mesh Network Design with Dynamic Optical Path Protection
A WDM mesh network is planned and designed so that to satisfy all its demands. Each connection has to be protected with the a) dedicated way, b) shared way and c) the benefits of the shared way versus the dedicated way are also showed. The shortest path algorithm is used for all dynamical cases. The network uses wavelength conversion. Keywords-dedicated protection, optical channel layer, shared...
متن کاملSupporting IP Dense Mode Multicast Routing Protocols in WDM All-Optical Networks
Recent developments in all-optical networking and wavelength division multiplexing technologies allow for the support of optical multicasting, a missing feature towards the optical Internet. In this paper we propose a protocol to construct source-rooted WDM multicast trees. The protocol works under dense mode multicast routing IP protocols and supports network nodes with different degrees of li...
