Routing and wavelength assignment(RWA) problem is an important issue in optical transport networks based on wavelength division multiplexing(WDM) technique. It is typically solved using a combination of linear programming and graph coloring, or path selection based graph algorithms. Such methods are either complex or make extensive use of heuristics. In this paper we propose a novel and efficient approach which basically obtains the maximum edge disjoint paths (EDPs) for each source-destination demand pair. And those EDPs obtained are stored in Lookup Table and used for the update of weight matrix. Routes are determined in order by the weight matrix for the demand set. The comprehensive computer simulation shows that the Proposed algorithm uses similar or fewer wavelengths with significantly less execution time than bounded greedy approach (BGA) for EDP which is currently known to be effective in practice.

링 루팅 및 파장할당 문제는 최근 활발하게 구축되는 있는 WDM 링의 설계 및 운용에 있어서 매우 중요한 문제이다. 이 문제는 링 상의 노드 쌍간에 단위수요가 주어졌을 때, 각 수요들을 링 상의 두 가지 가능한 경로 중 하나로 보내기 위한 광경로의 설정과 설정된 광경로에 파장을 할당하는 두 가지 의사결정을 동시에 결정하여야 하는 매우 복잡한 문제이다. 또한 파장할당시에 동일한 링크를 공유하는 광경로에는 동일한 파장을 할당할 수 없다는 제악이 있으면서, 목적함수는 할당하는 파장의 수를 죄소화하는 것이 된다. 본 연구에서는 링 루팅 및 파장할당 문제에 대매 평행루팅을 만족하는 최적해가 항상 존재한다는 것을 보이고, 최적해의 다양한 특성들을 규명하기로 한다. 또한 새로운 하한을 제시하고 이 하한이 기존의 하한에 비해서 매우 효과적임을 보이도록 한다.

본 논문은 WDM 광 통신망에서 망의 효율적인 설계에 필요한 알고리즘에 관한 것이다. WDM 광 통신망은 경로설정 및 파장할당이 중요한 변수로 s-d 노드 쌍간에 필요한 연결수요가 주어질 때 이 연결수요를 만족시켜주는 광 경로를 설정하고, 파장을 할당해 줌으로써 사용 파장수를 최소화하면서 파장을 재사용 할 수 있는 효율을 최대로 하는 것이 목적이다. WDM 방식을 이용하여 전기적 변환에 따른 지연 없이 전광통신망에서 여러 개의 파장을 다중화하여 동시에 자료를 전송함으로서 수Gbps, 혹은 그이상의 전송이 가능해질 것으로 기대되어 진다. 이들 설계 문제들은 일반적인 토폴로지 망에서 정적인 경로 설정 및 파장할당을 대상으로 하여 발견적인 알고리즘을 얻고자 하였다. 또한 이를 통해 LP모형으로 얻은 하한 한계 값과 휴리스틱 알고리즘의 최소파장수와 동일한 값이 나올 수 있는 알고리즘을 구하였다.

Routing and wavelength assignment problem is one of the most important issues in optical transport networks based on wavelength division multiplexing(WDM) technique. In this paper, we propose a novel approach using path conflict graphs and an algorithm for finding all edge disjoint paths. And then we compare the performance of the proposed algorithm with that of bounded greedy approach for EDP(BGAforEDP). The proposed one outperforms up to about 20$\%$ in the fixed traditional topology(NSFNET) and about 32$\%$ in random topologies over the BGA for EDP algorithm.

This paper considers the problem of routing connections in multi-optical tree network using WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing), where each connection between a pair of nodes in the network is assigned a path through the network and a wavelength on that path, such that connections whose paths share a common link in the network are assigned different wavelengths. The problem of optimal colouring of paths on multi-optical network is NP-hard[1], but if that is the colouring of all paths, then there exists an efficient polynomial time algorithm. In this paper, using divided & conquer method we gave an efficient algorithm to assign wavelengths to the all paths of a tree network based on the theory of (7) and our time complexity $O(n^4log\; n)$.

This paper considers the WRA(Wavelength and Houting Assignment) problem on all-optical tree networks using WDM(Wavelength Division Multiplexing). Each link between a pair of request nodes on all optical networks is assigned different wavelengths because of technical constraint. On the basis of this, we give an polynomial time algorithm to assign wavelengths to the all patbs of a arbitrary tree network using divide and conquer method. The time complexity of this algorithm is O(Q. R), in which Q is the request nodes for all to'all communication in a tree topology and U is the maximum number of wavelength. Also we implemented our algorithm using C in Pentium II 233MHz and analyzed performance results.

This paper presents the routing and wavelength and timeslot assignment problems for a circuit-switched time division multiplexed (TDM) wavelength-routed networks. In this paper, we propose an efficient distributed control protocol for establishing lightpath dynamically. The protocol uses backward reservation to reduce the chance of blocking. We use aggressive reservation method with usable multiple channels and select only one in multiple channel. We show through simulation that the proposed protocol improves the success rate in TDM-based lightpath establishment and the proposed aggressive reservation method improve blocking probability with appropriate reservation channel count.

In optical networks, traffic demands often demonstrate periodic nature for which time-overlapping property can be utilized in routing and wavelength assignment (RWA). A RWA problem for scheduled lightpath demands (SLDs) has been solved by combinatorial optimal solution (COS) and graph coloring, or heuristic sequential RWA (sRWA). Such methods are very complex and incurs large computational overhead. In this paper, we propose an efficient RWA algorithm to utilize the time disjoint property as well as space disjoint property through fast grouping of SLDs. The computer simulation shows that our proposed algorithm indeed achieves up to $54\%$ faster computation with similar number of wavelengths than the existing heuristic sRWA algorithm.
