Proposed Experimental Algorithm for Wavelength Assignment in Optical WDM Mesh Networks

In this paper, we analyze the wavelength assignment problem in optical WDM mesh network. Firstly the performance of Random algorithm, First-fit algorithm and Wavelength conversion is analyzed. Then new algorithm is developed from existing conversion algorithm. Proposed algorithm reserve the resources for the primary light paths and secondary light paths. Then extensive simulations are done on different networks to evaluate the performance in terms of blocking probability. Then comparison is performed for the blocking probability of various algorithms with number of links and channels are kept constant and the variation in number of load per link (in Erlangs). The results show that the proposed algorithm routing performs better than first two strategies. The performance of the modified wavelength conversion
