We consider routing and wavelength assignment in wavelength-routed all-optical networks (WAN) with circuit switching. The conventional approaches to address this issue consider the two aspects of the problem disjointly by first finding a route from a predetermined set of candidate paths and then searching for an appro…

Unlike broadcast-and-select networks, wavelength-routing networks offer the advantages of wavelength reuse and scalability and are thus suitable for wide-area networks (WANs) We study the effects of topological connectivity and wavelength conversion in circuit-switched all-optical wavelength-routing networks. A blocki…

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…

In this work, the performance analysis of a dual-hop relay transmission system composed of asymmetric radio-frequency (RF)/free-space optical (FSO) links with pointing errors is presented. More specifically, we build on the system model presented in to derive new exact closed-form expressions for the cumulative distri…

Wavelength converters increase the traffic-carrying capacity of circuit-switched optical networks by relaxing the wavelength continuity constraints. We consider the problem of optimally placing a given number of wavelength converters on a path to minimize the call-blocking probability. Using a simple performance model…

Wavelength division multiplexed point-to-point transport is becoming commonplace in wide area networks. With the expectation that the next step is end-to-end networking of wavelengths (in the optical domain without conversion to electronics), there is a need for new design techniques, a new understanding of the perfor…

Employing an efficient routing algorithm in satellite networks is a critical issue, because satellite network resources are costly and must be managed in an optimal and effective manner. Because of the particular features of satellite networks, such as dynamic topology, non-homogeneous traffic distribution, limited po…
