Cost-Effective Approaches for Circuit Construction in WDM SONET Rings
نویسندگان
چکیده
High speed SONET rings are widely used as network infrastructure. In WDM/SONET rings, the SONET add/drop multiplexers (SADMs) can significantly increase the overall system cost. By traffic grooming, the number of SADMs as well as the number of wavelengths required can be reduced dramatically. Generally, traffic grooming includes two parts: circuit construction and circuit grooming. Efficient circuit construction will help minimize not only the number of wavelengths but also the number of SADMs. In this paper, we focus on developing improved approaches for circuit construction under static traffic patterns, using hill climber and simulated annealing. Our algorithms show good results compared to previous work.

Combined WDM and SONET Network Design
This paper considers grooming of low speed traf-c into high speed lightpaths in a WDM based optical ring with a primary goal of reducing the cost of the entire system, which is dominated by the cost of the SONET transmission equipment connected to the optical ring. The paper attempts to enumerate the architectural options provided by SONET to arrive at a cost-eeective solution, including UPSR a...
متن کاملA Wavelength Assignment Heuristic to Minimize SONET ADMs in WDM Rings
Optical Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) rings are being deployed to support multiple SONET/SDH selfhealing rings over a single physical optical ring. In such systems, the dominating cost is the SONET Add/Drop Multiplexers (ADMs). To minimize the system cost, algorithms must be developed to assign wavelengths to lightpaths in the system so that the number of ADMs required is minimized. Ho...
متن کاملDynamic traffic grooming algorithms for reconfigurable SONET over WDM networks - Global Telecommunications Conference, 2002. GLOBECOM '02. IEEE
Most of today's optical networks are built on E:ONET rings [I]. Using WDM technology, multiple rings can be sup ported on a single fiber ring [3]. In this architecture, each wavelength independently carries a SONET ring. Each SONET ring can further support multiple low speed streams (e.g. an OC48 SONET ring can support 4 OC-12 or 16 OC-3 streams at the same time). At each node a WDM Add/Drop Mu...
متن کاملMinimal Cost WDM SONET Rings
Minimal cost networks are presented when SONET UPSR and BLSR networks are deployed over a WDM fiber ring. The primary cost is the number of SONET ADMs, and a secondary cost is the number of wavelengths. The networks have been designed assuming a nonstatistical traffic model, and guarantees no blocking of traffic. Three network architectures are given that have low ADM costs. It is shown that ne...
