The Wavelength Conversion in Wdm Networks
نویسنده
چکیده
The WDM network is an optical network to employ the wavelength division multiplex WDM technology. This technology provides transmission of data on different optical wavelengths through the same optical fiber. We will concentrate on WDM network only, where each wavelength corresponds to a data communication channel. Moreover, we deal with all-optical networks. In these networks, the optical signal still remains in the optical domain from the source node to the destination node.

Dynamic Routing and Wavelength Assignment in Multifiber WDM Networks with Wavelength Conversion Capability
This paper proposes a dynamic routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) scheme in multifiber WDM networks with wavelength conversion capability. In multifiber WDM networks, each link consists of multiple fibers. Thus, multiple lightpaths with the same wavelength can be established in the same link as long as they use different fibers. In WDM networks with wavelength conversion, the network nodes ...

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 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 ...
