چکیده
Abstract. A network with restoration capability requires spare capacity to be used in the case of failure. Optimization of spare capacity is to find the minimum amount of spare capacity for the network to survive from network component failures. In this paper, this problem is investigated for wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) mesh networks without wavelength conversion. We propose a hybrid genetic algorithm approach (GA) for the problem. Simulated Annealing (SA) and Tabu Search (TS) are also applied to this problem for comparison purpose. Simulation results show very favorable results for the Genetic Algorithm approach.

متن کاملSpare capacity planning using survivable alternate routing for long-haul WDM networks
Spare capacity planning is to find the minimum amount of spare capacity to be allocated throughout a network so that the network can survive from network component failures. In this paper, the spare capacity planning problem is investigated for long haul wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) networks. A three-step method is developed for solving the problem. First, heuristic approaches are use...
