Wavelength conversion algorithm in an intelligent WDM network
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes a new wavelength conversion algorithm in a DWDM network using online routing. The model for the algorithm has been theoretically developed and the corresponding call connection probability has been calculated. The limitation on the number of wavelength conversions has been addressed by fixing the maximum number of wavelength conversions allowed for the transmissions of a single packet over the network. The algorithm proposed is deterministic. It employs the concept of online routing to implement look ahead characteristics and thus aims to design an intelligent WDM network. 2003 Elsevier B.V.

Performance modeling of bufferless WDM packet switching networks with wavelength conversion
In this paper we study the performance of bufferless optical WDM packet switching networks with various wavelength conversion degrees. We first introduce an optimal scheduling algorithm that maximizes the network throughput in this type of network. We then derive a novel analytical model to evaluate the network performance in terms of packet loss probability under the scheduling algorithm for B...
متن کاملKey Link Factor for Performance Optimization in WDM Networks with Sparse Wavelength Conversion
Blocking probability has been one of the significant parameters in the design of WDM optical networks. In most of the network topologies the probability for each link to be occupied is different. There are always some links which are more likely to be used than others which can be denoted as key links. The existing routing algorithms do not take this important factor into account significantly....
متن کاملSparse-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 کاملUtilization of Optical Fibre WDM Channel in Wavelength Routed Networks using Sparse Partial Limited Wavelength Conversion
In the previous 20 years, wavelength conversion has received a considerable attention due to its strong influence on the blocking performance of wavelength-routed WDM networks. In a wavelength-routed WDM network, end users communicate with one another via all-optical WDM channels. In all-optical WDM channels optical fibre is used. Optical fibre is a single, hair-fine filament drawn from molten ...
