Abstract: | Optical add/drop multiplexers (OADMs) can significantly reduce the cost of metro optical wavelength-division multiplexing
(WDM) ring networks by allowing traffic to bypass intermediate nodes without expensive opto-electro-opto (O-E-O) conversion.
Some traditional OADMs, called fixed OADMs (FOADMs), can only add/drop traffic on a specific wavelength. Reconfigurable Optical
Add/Drop Multiplexers (ROADMs) are emerging, which can add/drop traffic onto/from different wavelengths at different time.
ROADMs provide desirable flexibility, enable fast provisioning of dynamic traffic, and save capital expenditure (CapEx) and
operational expenditure (OpEx). In order to be cost-effective, some ROADMs employ architectures that tune the ROADM continuously
from one wavelength to another, crossing through all the wavelengths in-between, which may cause interference to the connections,
if any, on those wavelengths being crossed. In order to prevent existing connections from being interrupted, a constraint
needs to be imposed that ROADMs cannot cross working wavelengths when tuning. In this study, the design and the benefits of
metro optical WDM network architectures using ROADMs and the impact of this tuning constraint on the performance of the network
are investigated. Mathematical formulation of the problem of provisioning of connections with advance reservation, in which
the arrival time and departure time of all the connections are known in advance, is presented, and results for a small network
are shown. |
