We investigate the problem of optimally placing limited-range wavelength converters at a subset of nodes in wavelength-routed wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) networks. We consider two different aspects of the converter-placement problem: 1) the placement minimizing the network-wide blocking probability; and 2) the placement minimizing the number of wavelength-convertible nodes to meet the performance constraints. We present a binary (0-1) linear program (BLP) formulation in which the end-to-end blocking probability is expressed as a linear function of converter locations so that standard linear program (LP) optimization packages can be employed to obtain the optimal solution of the problems. We also present a new analytical model for estimating the end-to-end blocking probabilities. Experiments have been conducted over four network topologies, including 19-node European optical network (EON), 24-node USA backbone network (UBN), 32-node HYPERCUBE, and 36-node MESH-TORUS. We demonstrate that the optimal solutions of the converter-placement problems can be obtained within a reasonable computation time. 相似文献

Sparse wavelength conversion and appropriate routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) algorithms are the two key factors in improving the blocking performance in wavelength-routed all-optical networks. It has been shown that the optimal placement of a limited number of wavelength converters in an arbitrary mesh network is an NP-complete problem. There have been various heuristic algorithms proposed in the literature, in which most of them assume that a static routing and random-wavelength assignment RWA algorithm is employed. However, the existing work shows that fixed-alternate routing and dynamic routing RWA algorithms can achieve much better blocking performance. Our study further demonstrates that the wavelength converter placement and RWA algorithms are closely related in the sense that a well-designed wavelength converter placement mechanism for a particular RWA algorithm might not work well with a different RWA algorithm. Therefore, the wavelength converter placement and the RWA have to be considered jointly. The objective of this paper is to investigate the wavelength converter placement problem under the fixed-alternate routing (FAR) algorithm and least-loaded routing (LLR) algorithm. Under the FAR algorithm, we propose a heuristic algorithm called minimum blocking probability first for wavelength converter placement. Under the LLR algorithm, we propose another heuristic algorithm called weighted maximum segment length. The objective of the converter placement algorithms is to minimize the overall blocking probability. Extensive simulation studies have been carried out over three typical mesh networks, including the 14-node NSFNET, 19-node EON, and 38-node CTNET. We observe that the proposed algorithms not only outperform existing wavelength converter placement algorithms by a large margin, but they also can achieve almost the same performance compared with full wavelength conversion under the same RWA algorithm. 相似文献

In this paper, we have proposed an efficient wavelength rerouting algorithm for dynamic provisioning of lightpath. In wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) networks rerouting of lightpath can be used to improve throughput and to reduce blocking probability. We have proposed a shortest path wavelength rerouting (SPWRR) algorithm for dynamic traffic in WDM optical networks. The results have shown that SPWRR algorithm can improve blocking performance of the network. In this paper, low complexity algorithm has been developed which is used for the calculation of blocking probability of network. The proposed algorithm has also been applied on the realistic network such as NSFnet for calculation and optimization of blocking probability of the network. 相似文献

In this paper, we present a new analytical model that captures link dependencies in all-optical wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) networks under uniform traffic and enables the estimation of connection-blocking probabilities more accurately than previously possible. The basic formula of the dependency between two links in this model reflects their degree of adjacency, the degree of connectivity of the nodes composing them, and their carried traffic. Our validation tests have shown that the analytical dependency model gives accurate results and successfully captures the main dependency characteristics observed in the simulation measurements. The usefulness of the model is illustrated by showing how to use it in enhancing a simulation-based algorithm that we recently proposed for the sparse placement of full wavelength converters in WDM networks. To analytically handle the presence of wavelength converters, a lightpath containing converters is divided into smaller subpaths, such that each subpath is a wavelength-continuous path, and the nodes shared between these subpaths are full wavelength-conversion-capable. The blocking probability of the entire path is obtained by computing the probabilities in the individual subpaths. We validate the analytically-based sparse placement algorithm by comparing it with its simulation-based counterpart using a number of network topologies. 相似文献

Wavelength routed optical networks have emerged as a technology that can effectively utilize the enormous bandwidth of the optical fiber. Wavelength conversion technology and wavelength converters play an important role in enhancing fiber utilization and in reducing the overall call blocking probability of the network. In this paper, we develop a new analytical model to calculate the average blocking probability in multi-fiber link networks using limited range wavelength conversion. Based on the results obtained, we conclude that the proposed analytical model is simple and yet can effectively analyze the impact of wavelength conversion ranges and number of fibers on network performance. Also a new heuristic approach for placement of wavelength converters to reduce blocking probabilities is explored. Finally, we analyze network performance with the proposed scheme. It can be observed from numerical simulations that limited range converters placed at a few nodes can provide almost the same blocking probability as full range wavelength converters placed at all the nodes. We also show that being equipped with a multi-fiber per-link has the same effect as being equipped with the capability of limited range wavelength conversion. So a multi-fiber per-link network using limited range wavelength conversion has similar blocking performance as a full wavelength convertible network. Since a multi-fiber network using limited range wavelength conversion could use fewer converters than a single-fiber network using limited range wavelength conversion and because wavelength converters are today more expensive than fiber equipment, a multi-fiber network in condition with limited range wavelength conversion is less costly than a single fiber network using only limited range wavelength conversion. Thus, multi-fiber per-link network using limited range wavelength conversion is currently a more practical method for all optical WDM networks. Simulation studies carried out on a 14-node NSFNET, a 10-node CERNET (China Education and Research Network), and a 9-node regular mesh network validate the analysis. 相似文献

The performance of wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) networks is highly dependent on the wavelength converter allocation
and routing problems. Typically, these problems have been treated as independent problems under dynamic traffic; however,
in order to achieved good system’s performance, both problems should be dealt with together. To this aim, this work proposes
a joint optimization approach where allocations for converters and paths for routing are calculated simultaneously. A multi-objective
evolutionary algorithm is proposed to minimize the number of wavelength converters and the overall blocking probability at
the same time. Extensive simulations show promising results in the sense that our approach not only generates better trade-off
solutions in comparison with an iterative-joint state-of-the-art approach but also constitutes an effective tool to better
understand different trade-offs in the design of WDM networks. 相似文献

Wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) technology is emerging as the transmission and switching mechanism for future optical mesh networks. In these networks it is desired that a wavelength can be routed without electrical conversions. Two technologies are possible for this purpose: wavelength selective cross-connects (WSXC) and wavelength interchanging cross-connects (WIXC), which involve wavelength conversion. It is believed that wavelength converters may improve the blocking performance, but there is a mix of results in the literature on the amount of this performance enhancement. We use two metrics to quantify the wavelength conversion gain: the reduction in blocking probability and the increase in maximum utilization, compared to a network without converters. We study the effects of wavelength routing and selection algorithms on these measures for mesh networks. We use the overflow model to analyze the blocking probability for wavelength-selective (WS) mesh networks using the first-fit wavelength assignment algorithm. We propose a dynamic routing and wavelength selection algorithm, the least-loaded routing (LLR) algorithm, which jointly selects the least-loaded route-wavelength pair. In networks both with and without wavelength converters the LLR algorithm achieves much better blocking performance compared to the fixed shortest path routing algorithm. The LLR produces larger wavelength conversion gains; however, these large gains are not realized in sufficiently wide utilization regions and are diminished with the increased number of fibers 相似文献

In this paper, we study routing and wavelength assignment of connection requests in survivable WDM optical mesh networks employing shared path protection with partial wavelength conversion while 100% restorability is guaranteed against any single failures. We formulate the problem as a linear integer program under a static traffic model. The objective is to minimize the total cost of wavelength-links and wavelength converters used by working paths and protection paths of all connections. A weight factor is used which is defined as the cost ratio of a wavelength converter and a wavelength-link. Depending on the relative cost of bandwidth and wavelength conversion, the optimization objective allows a proper tradeoff between the two. The proposed algorithm, the shortest-widest-path-first (SWPF) algorithm, uses a modified Dijkstra's algorithm to find a working path and a protection path for each connection request in the wavelength graph transformed from the original network topology. When there are multiple candidate paths that have the same minimum total cost, the path along which the maximum number of converters used at each node is minimized is chosen by the SWPF algorithm. We have evaluated the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm via extensive simulation. The results indicate that the performance of the proposed algorithm is very close to that of the optimal solutions obtained by solving the ILP formulation and outperforms existing heuristic algorithms in terms of total number of converters used and the maximum number of converters required at each node in the network. The proposed algorithm also achieves slightly better performance in terms of total cost of wavelength-links and converters used by all connections. We also investigated shared path protection employing converter sharing. The results show that the technique can reduce not only the total number of converters used in the network but also the maximum number of converters required at each node, especially when a large number of converters are needed in the network. In this study, although the ILP formulation is based on static traffic, the proposed algorithm is also applicable to routing dynamic connection requests. 相似文献

Dynamic routing and wavelength assignment (RWA), which supports request arrivals and lightpath terminations at random times,
is needed for rapidly changing traffic demands in wavelength division multiplexed, (WDM) networks. In this paper, a new distributed
heuristic algorithm based on ant colony optimization for dynamic RWA is put forward. We consider the combination of route
selection and wavelength assignment as a whole using a multilayer-graph model. Therefore, an extended multilayer-graph model
for WDM networks with limited wavelength conversion is presented. Compared with other RWA methods, the Ant Colony heuristic
algorithm can achieve better global network optimization and can reduce communication overhead cost of the networks. Simulation
showed that a lower blocking probability and a more rational wavelength resource assignment can be achieved. 相似文献

In this article, we study the blocking probability in a wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) based asynchronous bufferless
optical burst switched (OBS) network, equipped with a bank of wavelength converters. Our analysis encloses two wavelength
reservation schemes JIT (just-in-time) and JET (just-enough-time), and two-class data rate. The contribution of our work includes:
(i) derivation of an accurate model for blocking probability of lower priority bursts in case of a non-preempted model; (ii) provision of the analytical model for blocking probability calculation in the OBS network, which includes these
variables: two signaling schemes, partial wavelength conversion, two-class data, traffic intensity, cross-connect speed, number
of wavelengths in WDM fiber, number of fibers in the node, number of wavelength converters, and number of nodes in the path;
(iii) simulation results, which show that partial wavelength conversion provide quite satisfactory quality of service. We
compare performance in a single OBS node, under various sets of parameter values. The OBS network shows great flexibility
in terms of used multiclass data, and there is no dependence on the used higher layer protocol. 相似文献

Wavelength Conversion Placement in WDM Mesh Optical Networks* 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Wavelength conversion helps improve the performance of wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) optical networks that employ wavelength routing. In this paper, we address the problem of optimally placing a limited number of wavelength converters in mesh topologies. Two objective functions, namely, minimizing the average blocking probability and minimizing the maximum blocking probability over all routes, are considered. In the first part of the paper, we extend an earlier analytical model to compute the blocking probability on an arbitrary route in a mesh topology, given the traffic and locations of converters. We then propose heuristic algorithms to place wavelength converters, and evaluate the performance of the proposed heuristics using the analytical model. Results suggest that simple heuristics are sufficient to give near-optimal performance. 相似文献

Wavelength conversion is one of the key techniques to improve the blocking performance in wavelength-routed WDM networks. Given that wavelength converters nowadays remain very expensive, how to make effective use of wavelength converters becomes an important issue. In this letter, we analyze the sparse-partial wavelength conversion network architecture and demonstrate that it can significantly save the number of wavelength converters, yet achieving excellent blocking performance. Theoretical and simulation results indicate that, the performance of a wavelength-routed WDM network with only 1-5% off wavelength conversion capability is very close to that with full-complete wavelength conversion capability. 相似文献

In this work, we study dynamic provisioning of multicast sessions in a wavelength-routed sparse splitting capable WDM network
with an arbitrary mesh topology where the network consists of nodes with full, partial, or no wavelength conversion capabilities
and a node can be a tap-and-continue (TaC) node or a splitting and delivery (SaD) node. The objectives are to minimize the
network resources in terms of wavelength-links used by each session and to reduce the multicast session blocking probability.
The problem is to route the multicast session from each source to the members of every multicast session, and to assign an
appropriate wavelength to each link used by the session. We propose an efficient online algorithm for dynamic multicast session
provisioning. To evaluate the proposed algorithm, we apply the integer linear programming (ILP) optimization tool on a per
multicast session basis to solve off-line the optimal routing and wavelength assignment given a multicast session and the
current network topology as well as its residual network resource information. We formulate the per session multicast routing
and wavelength assignment problem as an ILP. With this ILP formulation, the multicast session blocking probability or success
probability can then be estimated based on solving a series of ILPs off-line. We have evaluated the effectiveness of the proposed
online algorithm via simulation in terms of session blocking probability and network resources used by a session. Simulation
results indicate that our proposed computationally efficient online algorithm performs well even when a fraction of the nodes
are SaD nodes. 相似文献
