Routing and Wavelength Assignment for WDM-based Optical Networks

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering ((LNEE,volume 410))

Abstract

The rapid growth in world-wide communications and proliferating use of Internet has significantly modified the ways of life. This revolution has led to vast growth of communication bandwidth in every year. At the same time, the quick evolution of optical communication technologies has allowed the transmission of vast quantities of information on a single optical fiber. However, the communication protocols adopted by telecommunication service providers have proved to be quite inefficient to exploit the enormous information carrying capacity of the emerging next-generation optical networks, which need further research initiatives. This chapter briefly introduces the wavelength division multiplexing based optical networks and describes the problems addressed in current research.
