Since light-paths are the basic connections in wavelength routed networks, their effective
establishment is very important. Routing and Wavelength Assignment (RWA) techniques …

With the growth of traffic volume and the emergence of various new applications, future
telecom networks are expected to be increasingly heterogeneous with respect to …

Core optical networks using reconfigurable optical switches and tunable lasers appear to be
on the road towards widespread deployment and could evolve to all-optical mesh networks …

Future telecommunication networks employing optical wavelength-division multiplexing
(WDM) are expected to be increasingly heterogeneous and support a wide variety of traffic …

Transparent optical networks are the enabling infrastructure for converged multi-granular
networks in the Future Internet. The cross-layer planning of these networks considers …

In translucent optical networks, the physical layer impairments degrading the optical signal
are considered in the network planning. In this paper, we investigate the offline problem of …

This paper proposes a spectrum allocation scheme based on highest modulation-first last fit
(LF) for elastic optical networks in order to suppress the call blocking in the network. The …

The degradation of quality-of-transmission (QoT) due to the dispersion effect is a critical
issue in elastic optical networks (EONs). To satisfy the required quality of transmission, a …

In all-optical networks the physical layer impairments accumulate along a lightpath and also
vary dynamically, and a number of impairment aware routing and wavelength assignment …
