Provisioning for restorable WDM optical networks

Restoration is a very critical issue in WDM optical networks. Provisioning also plays a great role in the networks because it deals with resource allocation. In this paper, we have presented two provisioning strategies for restorable networks: unity link weight strategy and varying link weight strategy. The strategies are implemented for critical applications which require 100% degree of survivability. The simulation is done using different proportionate of resources for working and restoration lightpaths. The simulated results show that the performance of the unity link weight strategy is much better than the varying link weight strategy in terms of resource requirement and blocking probability.     

Distributed control based routing and wavelength assignment strategy for WDM optical networks

Wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) is emerging as the dominant technology for the next generation optical networks. The control strategy can be either centralized or distributed. In centralized control, there is a central controller to keep track of the state of the network. It is also responsible for selecting the path for data transmission. Most of the work done in this field is based on centralized control. For large networks, distributed control is preferred over centralized control because of low control overhead. Distributed control strategy requires exchange of control messages among nodes. The distributed control generally results in the possibility of resource reservation conflicts among simultaneous path establishments and poor resource utilization. In this paper, we have proposed one distributed control based routing and wavelength assignment strategy that avoids the problem of resource reservation conflicts along with the efficient utilization of resources.

Priority-based parameter optimization strategy for reducing the effects of four-wave mixing on WDM system

In order to meet the ultra high speed and ultra long-haul transmission distance in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) systems, the nonlinear impairment affecting the overall spectral efficiency and system performance should be minimized. This paper proposes a strategy to mitigate the four-wave mixing (FWM) effect in WDM system. The strategy determines the effect of both single and combined effects of second, third, and fourth optimization priority parameters such as fiber length, input power, dispersion, channel spacing, and effective area on FWM power. A comparison study was made under different types of optical fiber such as single-mode fiber (SMF), dispersion shifted fiber, non-zero dispersion fiber, and non-zero dispersion shifted fiber. In addition, the system performance in term of bit-error-rate was calculated in the case of single priority (impact of effective area) and combined priority (impact of effective area, input power, fiber length and channel spacing). The results show that the FWM effect was reduced based on the transmission parameters order of optimization, i.e., priority selection proposed. Moreover, the results indicated that increasing sequentially the effective area, fiber length; channel spacing and decreasing the input power provide the most significant sequence in suppressing the effects of FWM. This priority sequence brought the suppression ratio to approximately 26.3% in SMF, which suppressed the FWM effects up to −50 dBm. In term of BER; the combined priority introduces improvement in BER of 2.31 × 10⁻²⁵ in comparison with single priority that has value of BER 4 × 10⁻¹⁴. Finally, this work suggests that the proposed priority-based parameter optimization strategy is an ideal solution for optimum performance of WDM system.     

A Heuristic algorithm for reducing wavelength number of optical WDM networks

This paper proposes a Heuristic algorithm in order to reduce the total number of wavelengths required to accommodate light-paths in a WDM networks with static traffic loading. Proposed algorithm is compared with Dijkstra's algorithm for average light-path length and wavelength number of network. To see the efficiency of this 01algorithm new parameter, reduced wavelength cost (RC_X) has been defined.     

Restoration approach in WDM optical networks

Critical applications require proactive-based survivability strategy which provides 100% degree of survivability, low blocking probability and very low restoration time. In this paper, we have proposed an efficient proactive restoration approach for WDM optical network that efficiently utilizes the resources and reduces blocking probability as compared to existing proactive restoration approach. It gives priority to primary lightpath as compared to backup lightpath because primary lightpath should not share resources with other lightpaths in critical applications but backup lightpaths can share the resources, i.e. backup multiplexing.     

Upstream vertical cavity surface-emitting lasers for fault monitoring and localization in WDM passive optical networks

As wavelength division multiplexed passive optical networks (WDM-PONs) are expected to be first deployed to transport high capacity services to business customers, real-time knowledge of fiber/device faults and the location of such faults will be a necessity to guarantee reliability. Nonetheless, the added benefit of implementing fault monitoring capability should only incur minimal cost associated with upgrades to the network. In this work, we propose and experimentally demonstrate a fault monitoring and localization scheme based on a highly-sensitive and potentially low-cost monitor in conjunction with vertical cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs). The VCSELs are used as upstream transmitters in the WDM-PON. The proposed scheme benefits from the high reflectivity of the top distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) mirror of optical injection-locked (OIL) VCSELs to reflect monitoring channels back to the central office for monitoring. Characterization of the fault monitor demonstrates high sensitivity, low bandwidth requirements, and potentially low output power. The added advantage of the proposed fault monitoring scheme incurs only a 0.5 dB penalty on the upstream transmissions on the existing infrastructure.     

Dynamic global load balancing strategy for cross stratum optimization of OpenFlow-enabled triple-M optical networks

With the emergence of high-bitrate applications, cross stratum optimization (CSO) attracts the interest of network operators because of its application in the joint optimization of optical networks and application stratum resources. Given the large-scale growth and high complexity of optical networks, achieving a more effective, accurate, and practical CSO becomes an important research focus. In this letter, we present a CSO-oriented, unified control architecture for OpenFlow-enabled triple-M optical networks. A novel dynamic global load balancing (DGLB) strategy with dynamic resource rating for CSO is presented based on the proposed architecture. The DGLB strategy is then compared with four other strategies by conducting experiments on a SOFT-based testbed with 1000 virtual nodes.

Wavelength assignment algorithms for WDM optical networks

In this paper, we have proposed an efficient wavelength assignment algorithm for dynamic provisioning of lightpath. This proposed algorithm is based on most-used wavelength assignment algorithm. We have also suggested a mathematical model for WDM optical networks for minimization of blocking probability. The results of proposed algorithm and suggested model are then compared with the conventional wavelength assignment algorithms such as first-fit, best-fit, random and most-used wavelength assignment algorithms. These proposed approaches are very effective for the minimization of blocking probability of optical WDM networks.     

Probability routing strategy for scale-free networks

This study proposes a probability routing strategy for improving traffic capability on scale-free networks. Compared with the shortest path routing strategy depending on central nodes largely and the efficient routing strategy avoiding hub routers as much as possible, the probability routing strategy makes use of hub routers more efficiently, transferring approximate average amount of packs of the whole network. Simulation results indicate that the probability routing strategy has the highest network capacity among the three routing strategies. This strategy provides network capacity that can be more than 30 times higher than that of the shortest path routing strategy and over 50% higher than that of the efficient routing strategy. In addition, the average routing path length of our proposed strategy is over 10% shorter than that of the efficient routing strategy and only about 10% longer than that of the shortest path routing strategy.

Designing an all-optical packet filtering module for WDM broadcast-and-select star networks

An all-optical packet filtering module for WDM broadcast-and-select star networks is introduced. At each time instant, only one packet per wavelength is allowed to pass to the star coupler. Therefore, collisions are avoided and the network performance is improved. The proposed module is based on the use of optical logic circuits for controlling the passing of the transmitted packets to the star coupler, without the need of optical to electronic translation or electronic processing of the network feedback information. In this way, the processing time is drastically reduced, while the need for slowly tunable optical filters is eliminated. Furthermore, due to the all-optical nature of the network hub, the reliability of the system is improved.     

The cost benefits of multi-layer architecture with multi-granularity switching in optical networks

The benefits of using multi-granularity switching to reduce the number of ports, including both electronic and optical ports, have been investigated. A novel multi-layer ring architecture with multiple switches is proposed and two general equations to count the number of ports are derived. Comparisons are made between the multi-layer multi-granularity switching (MM-XC) architecture and the reported architectures: multi-switching (M-XC) and single switching (S-XC) architectures. The results show that the M-XC or S-XC architectures can be deduced from the MM-XC architecture and the latter architecture can achieve more considerable savings of the port count compared to the former.     

Novel hybrid mitigation strategy for improving the resiliency of hierarchical networks subjected to attacks

This paper studies the resiliency of hierarchical networks when subjected to random errors, static attacks, and cascade attacks. The performance is compared with existing Erdös–Rényi (ER) random networks and Barabasi and Albert (BA) scale-free networks using global efficiency as the common performance metric. The results show that critical infrastructures modeled as hierarchical networks are intrinsically efficient and are resilient to random errors, however they are more vulnerable to targeted attacks than scale-free networks. Based on the response dynamics to different attack models, we propose a novel hybrid mitigation strategy that combines discrete levels of critical node reinforcement with additional edge augmentation. The proposed modified topology takes advantage of the high initial efficiency of the hierarchical network while also making it resilient to attacks. Experimental results show that when the level of damage inflicted on a critical node is low, the node reinforcement strategy is more effective, and as the level of damage increases, the additional edge augmentation is highly effective in maintaining the overall network resiliency.

Incremental routing strategy on scale-free networks

The most important function of a network is for transporting traffic. Due to the low traffic capacity of network systems under the global shortest path routing, plenty of heuristic routing strategies are emerging. In this paper, we propose a heuristic routing strategy called the incremental routing algorithm to improve the traffic capacity of complex networks. We divide the routing process into N$N$(the network size) steps and, at each step, we heuristically calculate all the routes for one source node considering both the dynamic efficient betweenness centrality and node degree information. We do extensive simulations on scale-free networks to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed incremental routing strategy. The simulation results show that the traffic capacity has been enhanced by a substantial factor at the expense of a slight lengthening in the average path.
