A dynamic and quasi-centralized RWA method for optical fast circuit switching networks employing route pre-prioritization

We propose a new dynamic RWA algorithm for optical fast circuit switching networks, agile optical networks that can accommodate changing broadband demands. The algorithm utilizes pre-computed prioritized route candidates that reflect statistical information such as traffic distribution characteristics to attain better load balancing. The route priority is periodically distributed over a network and RWA for each path connection demand is processed in a distributed manner. Numerical experiments demonstrate that the algorithm matches the performance of a centralized RWA algorithm that uses all the necessary information on a network.

A new approach for routing and wavelength assignment for permanent and reliable wavelength paths in wide all-optical WDM networks

This article proposes a new approach for routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) for permanent and reliable wavelength paths (WP) in wide all-optical WDM networks with wavelength continuity constraint. Given a number of available wavelengths on each optical fiber, for each simple link failure of the network, we seek to maximize the number of satisfied requests for connections. This is known as RWAP problem. In our algorithm, called RWA with Minimum Loaded Link for Permanent and Reliable wavelength paths (MLL-PR), routing is based on the search for the optimal path while trying to minimize the maximum load on the links of the network in order to minimize the maximum link capacity and then minimize the number of dropped lightpaths after any link failure. The wavelength assignment is based on a graph coloring method using tabu-search. A series of experiments using two well-known networks (ARPANET and NSFNET) have been carried out in order to evaluate the performance of our approach, in terms of the number of blocked demands, for different failure scenarios. Generally, our results are better than those provided by the current solving approaches taken as reference.

A tabu search heuristic for the routing and wavelength assignment problem in multigranular optical networks

This paper proposes a tabu search heuristic for solving the routing and wavelength assignment problem in multigranular optical networks, considering the wavelength-continuity constraint and a set of connections to satisfy. For a number of fibers per link, a number of wavebands per fiber, and a number of wavelengths per waveband, this algorithm attempts to minimize the total number of ports used in the network by efficiently grouping lightpaths into bands and fibers, and switching the whole bands and fibers. The algorithm has been implemented and tested on the NSFNET network, and comparisons have been made with the Balanced Path Routing and Heavy Traffic First (BPHT) algorithm in terms of number of ports. Generally, the results obtained with our tabu search heuristic are better than those provided by this algorithm.

Reducing the lightpath establishing time of FWM-aware dynamic RWA for wavelength-routed optical networks

A dynamic routing and wavelength allocation technique with an interplay between physical and network layer parameters encompassing Four-wave mixing (FWM) awareness and teletraffic performance of wavelength-routed optical networks has previously been proposed for a distributed approach. In this article, we present a fast computational algorithm for our routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) encompassing FWM-induced crosstalk. The objective is to minimize the time of establishing a dynamic lightpath. For this purpose, a precomputed matrix of FWM crosstalk products is used in an adapted version of the FWM-aware dynamic RWA algorithm. The approach is validated through simulations showing improvement up to 30–50% on the provisioning time of lightpaths for different network topologies compared to an online full computational scheme.

Dynamic RWA with FWM-induced crosstalk awareness and modulation format conversion in wavelength-routed optical networks

The constraint of signal transmission quality and network resources utilization in transparent optical networks are herein addressed through a representative cost function based upon an impairment-constraint-base routing (ICBR) approach, taking into account link capacity utilization and the nonlinear physical effect, in the primary instance due to Four-Wave Mixing (FWM)-induced crosstalk. The FWM effect is considered one of the most severe physical impairments for the future photonic networks since the accumulation of FWM crosstalk may cause a fatal degradation in the teletraffic network performance. This paper presents an added functionality to the network model design based on all-optical modulation format conversion from conventional on-off keying (OOK) to quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK) sending more data within the same bandwidth while minimizing the blocking probability. The joint effect of physical impairment (i.e., FWM-induced crosstalk) awareness and two different modulation formats is considered through numerical simulations. The proposed scheme is expected to realize an all-optical transparent interconnection between networks that employ diverse modulation formats. Results show that the proposed FWM-aware Routing and Wavelength Assignment (RWA) algorithm leads to a more realistic system performance while giving a significant improvement on the network performance.

An Ant-Based Approach for Dynamic RWA in Optical WDM Networks

In this paper, we propose a new ant-based algorithm for the dynamic routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) problem in optical WDM networks under the wavelength continuity constraint. Unlike conventional approaches, which usually require centralized global network information, our new RWA algorithm constructs the routing solution in a distributed manner by means of cooperative ants. To facilitate the ants’ foraging task, we adopt in our algorithm a probabilistic routing table structure for route selection. The new algorithm is highly adaptive in that it always keeps a suitable number of ants in the network to cooperatively explore the network states and continuously update the routing tables, so that the route for a connection request can be determined promptly by the current states of routing tables with only a small setup delay. Some new schemes for path scoring and path searching are also proposed to enhance the performance of our ant-based algorithm. Extensive simulation results upon three typical network topologies indicate that the proposed algorithm has a very good adaptability to traffic variations and it outperforms both the fixed routing algorithm and the promising fixed–alternate routing algorithm in terms of blocking probability. The ability to guarantee both a low blocking probability and a small setup delay makes the new ant-based routing algorithm very attractive for both the optical circuit switching networks and future optical burst switching networks     

WDM光网中的一种邻域加权累积的波长分配策略

针对光核心传送网中单纤场景下的路由选择与波长分配（Routing and Wavelength Assignment,RWA）问题,提出了一种邻域加权累积的波长分配策略。在一条路径上为一个连接请求选择波长时,将网络的所有链路归入当前路径的不同邻域中,然后根据与路径之间的距离为不同邻域赋予不同的权重,进而对每个波长在全网中被占用的个数进行加权累积,最后选择累积值最大的可用波长建立连接。仿真结果表明,相对于现有的阻塞率最低的最大使用（Most-Used）波长分配策略,所提策略具有更低的阻塞率。     

A synthetic algorithm for wavelength routing in optical network

After analyzing the merits and shortcomings of Fixed-Alternated Routing algorithm （FAR） and Least Loaded Routing algorithm （LLR）, we propose one novel dynamic optical routing algorithm. Having considered the influences of path＇s length and path＇s congestion just like in FAR and LLR, we take into account the network resource status-amount of free wavelengths in the network. Proposed algorithm sets up connections on three possible paths according to amount of available free wavelengths in the network, which effectively decreases the blocking probability. The National Science Foundation （NSF） network and mesh-torus network simulation results show that the performance of this algorithm is better than that of FAR and LLR.
