Routing in Translucent Networks - Motivations and Objectives of EURESCOM P1202 Project

چکیده
The recent availability of new optical network elements makes possible to introduce new architectures and new functionality into the optical transport networks. Optical crossconnects and ultra long haul transmission equipment have emerged and opened a new opportunity to handle fully transparent connections and extend optically transparent domains. A translucent network is basically a network in which the network functions (transmission, routing, supervision, performance assessment, and survivability) are mainly performed in the optical domain. However, the use of opto-electronic components (e.g. components providing functions like wavelength conversion and 3R regeneration) to improve the performance of the translucent networks is not precluded. The current paper briefly introduces EURESCOM P1202 Project “Routing in Translucent Networks”, and presents some illustrative results on the resource utilization aspects of transparency in optical networks.

A JOINT DUTY CYCLE SCHEDULING AND ENERGY AWARE ROUTING APPROACH BASED ON EVOLUTIONARY GAME FOR WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS
Network throughput and energy conservation are two conflicting important performance metrics for wireless sensor networks. Since these two objectives are in conflict with each other, it is difficult to achieve them simultaneously. In this paper, a joint duty cycle scheduling and energy aware routing approach is proposed based on evolutionary game theory which is called DREG. Making a trade-off ...

متن کاملDynamic routing in translucent WDM optical networks
Translucent WDM optical networks use sparse placement of regenerators to overcome the impairments and wavelength contention introduced by fully transparent networks, and achieve a performance close to fully opaque networks with much less cost. Our previous study proved the feasibility of translucent networks using sparse regeneration technique. We addressed the placement of regenerators based o...

Recently, underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs) attracted the interest of many researchers and the past three decades have held the rapid progress of underwater acoustic communication. One of the major problems in UWSNs is how to transfer data from the mobile node to the base stations and choosing the optimized route for data transmission. Secure routing in UWSNs is necessary for packet d...

This study addresses the pickup and delivery problem for cross-docking strategy, in which shipments are allowed to be transferred from suppliers to retailers directly as well as through cross-docks. Usual models that investigate vehicle routing in cross-docking networks force all vehicles to stop at the cross-dock even if a shipment is about to a full truckload or the vehicle collects and deliv...
