Virtual wavelength path (VWP) is the optical path when a wavelength conversion is possible in a wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) network that is transmission infrastructure for the next generation high speed backbone networks. To achieve efficient design for VWP networks, we must consider VWP routing, wavelength assignment, and wavelength conversion while satisfying many technical constraints of the WDM networks. In this study we propose an integrated model for efficient VWP design in WDM networks. We also develope a 3-phase algorithm, each of which deals with routing, wavelength assignment and route and wavelength reassignment, respectively. In our computational experiments, phase 1 algorithm can solve the problem to the optimality for medium size test networks. Phase 2 algorithm is an efficient heuristic based on a reduced layered network and can give us an effective wavelength assignment. Finally, phase 3 algorithm reconfigure VWP routing and its wavelength assignment to concentrate wavelength conversion nodes in the suggested VWP network.

In this paper, we propose an efficient dynamic wavelength assignment algorithm in distributed WDM (Wavelength-Division Multiplexing) networks without wavelength conversion. The algorithm tries to assign a locally-most-used wavelength distributedly on a fixed routing path. We first formulate our algorithm by using the concept of a sample space which consists of optical fibers connected to nodes on a routing path of a lightpath to be assigned a wavelength. In particular, we analyze the blocking performance mathematically as compared with that of the most-used (MU) wavelength assignment algorithm previously proposed for WDM networks under centralized control. We also obtain numerical results by simulation on the blocking performance of other centralized/distributed wavelength assignment algorithms as well as our algorithm using the M/M/c/c dynamic traffic model. Consequently, we show that analytical results match simulation results and that our algorithm is efficient in distributed WDM networks in terms of blocking performance, control traffic overhead and computation complexity.

The ring routing and wavelength assignment problem arose in the planning of optical communication networks which use WDM rings. Traffic demands are given for each pair of nodes in an ring : each demand must be routed one of the two possible connections round the ring and the wavelength assignments must be made so that there are no conflicts : that is. no two connections whose routes share a link can be assigned the same wavelength along that link. The objective is to minimize the number of used wavelengths. We propose the local optimal routing for the problem and show that there always exists an optimal solution satisfying it. Furthermore we suggest a new lower bound for the problem and show that it is very efficient for the worst case example.

파장 할당에 대해 제안된 알고리즘들의 대부분은 무한한 수의 ADM을 가정하여 I/O 블로킹을 배제하였으며 파장을 할당한 이후, 네트워크 내에 파장이 불연속적인 형태로 남게 되어 링크 블로킹을 증가시킬 수 있다는 문제점이 있다. 또한 최악의 경우 O(W $N^3$)의 시간 복잡도를 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 온라인 상에서 동적인 트래픽 요청에 대해 최악의 경우 O(W $N^2$)의 복잡도를 가지면서 I/O 블로킹과 링크 블로킹을 모두 고려하는 파장 할당 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 파장의 불연속성을 최소화함으로써 블로킹의 발생을 감소시킬 수 있었다.

경로설정 및 파장할당(RWA: Routing and Wavelength Assignment) 문제는 파장 분할 다중화 기술에 기반한 차세대 광 인터넷 백본망에서 주목되는 기술중의 하나이다. 이러한 광 인터넷 망에서 연결요구에 대해 최적의 경로를 선택하여 선택된 경로에 효율적으로 파장을 할당하는 RWA문제는 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 경로 충돌 그래프 개념과 송신노드-수신노드 간의 MAX_EDP(Maximum Edge Disjoint Paths: 최대 링크 비 중복 경로) 알고리즘을 이용한 효율적인 알고리즘을 제안한다. 또한, 이에 대한 모의실험을 통해 제안한 방법과 기존의 BGAforEDP 알고리즘과의 성능분석을 통해 효율성을 검증한다. 모의 실험결과 제안된 방식이 기존의 방식보다 고정된 네트워크 토폴로지(NSFNET)에서는 최대 20$\%$, 랜덤 토폴로지에서는 최대 32$\%$정도의 성능향상을 보인다.

The large potential bandwidth available in wavelength-division multiplexed optical networks makes this technology of crucial importance for satisfying the ever increasing capacity requirements of the next-generation Internet. In this scenario, the routing and wavelength assignment(RWA) problem that concerns determining the optical paths and wavelengths to be used for connection establishment in a wavelength-routed network, is still one of the most important open issues. In this paper we propose a new online dynamic grooming-capable RWA heuristic scheme working on wavelength division multiplexing(WDM) networks as a multistage selection process. The proposed algorithm is transparent with respect to the presence of wavelength converters, achieves very low connection rejection ratios with minimal computational complexity and is appropriate for the modern multilayer optical circuit and wavelength switched networks with sparse wavelength conversion capability.

In this paper, we address the problem of efficient routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) in multi-fiber wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) networks without wavelength translation, under dynamic traffic. We couple Dijkstra's shortest path algorithm with a suitable weight function which chooses optical paths based both on wavelength availability and multi-fiber segments. We compare our approach with other RWA schemes both for regular and irregular WDM multi-fiber network topologies in terms of blocking probability and overall link utilization.

This paper considers a routing and wavelength assignment problem (RWAP) for the implementation of efficient Wavelength Division Multiplexing all-optical mesh networks without wavelength conversion. For a given physical network and required connections, the solution to the RWAP consists in how to select a suitable path and wavelength among the many possible choices for each connection so that no two paths using the same wavelength pass through the same link, while minimizing the number of required wavelengths. We introduce an integer programming formulation of the RWAP, which has an exponential number of variables, and propose an algorithm to solve it based on the column generation technique. The proposed algorithm can yield high quality solutions and tight lower bounds at the same time. Though the proposed algorithm cannot guarantee optimal solutions, computational results show that the algorithm yields provably good solutions within a reasonable time.

GENMET(GEneralized Multihop Network) which is based on Wavelength-Division Multiplexsing(WDM) and can be used in order to construct the next generation lightwave network is a logical(virtual), packet-switched and multihop topology network. GENMET is a regular multihop network which is a generalization of Shuffle network and do Bruijn network As such, it has the advantage of simple routing which is critical in a high speed network Given a physical topology, different logical topologies can be derived for assigning wavelengths to the UserNodes. By appropriately assigning wavelengths, performance of the network, such as mean hop count, maximum throughput and mean packet delay can be improved. In this paper, we propose heuristic algorithms for effectively assigning a limited number of wavelengths to the given UserNodes. The Performance of proposed algorithm is compared with the random assignment and the lower bounds.
