This paper presents a hybrid WDM/TDM channel acess protocol for high speed WDM networks based on passive double star topology. In the proposed scheme, all nodes in a network are splitted into groups forming passive double star topology and each node has a tunable transmitter and a fixed receiver. WDM channels are allocated to the groups, which are used as home channels to transmit or receive packets. TDM frames of the WDM channel are composed of the same number of slots as that of groups, and all nodes in a group transmit packets simultaneously at each slot. The proposed scheme reduces the system complexity and the number of the required WDM channels. It was proved that the proposed protocol is less sensitive to the propagation delay and maintaining its superior transmission performance by employing the efficient transmission schedule based on passive double star topology.

A single fiber failure in mesh-based WDM networks may result in the loss of a large number of data. To remedy this problem, an efficient restoration algorithm for a single fiber failure in the mesh- based WDM network is necessary. We propose a new algorithm for restoration scheme in WDM networks and compare it with previous schemes. Path restoration and link restoration are two representative restoration schemes which deal with only a single link failure. In this paper, we propose two kinds of efficient restoration scheme. In the proposed schemes the restoration path for each link failure is not secured. The mesh network is decomposed into a number of small loops. In one algorithm, any link failure in a certain loop is regarded as the failure of the loop and the restoration lightpath is selected by detouring the failed loop. In another scheme any link failure in a certain loop is restored within the loop. We compare performance of the proposed schemes with conventional path restoration scheme and link restoration scheme. Simulation results show that CPU time in the proposed schemes decreases compared with that in path restoration scheme and link restoration scheme, although total wavelength mileage usage increases by 10% to 50%.

High speed all optical network is a viable option to satisfy the exponential growth of internet usage in the recent years. Optical networks offer very high bit rates and, by employing technologies like internet protocol over wavelength division multiplexing(IP-over-WDM), these high bit rates can be effectively utilized. However, failure of a network component, carrying such high speed data traffic can result in enormous loss of data in a few seconds and persistence of a failure can severely degrade the performance of the entire network. Designing IP-over-WDM networks, which can withstand failures, has been subject of considerable interest in the research community recently. Most of the research is focused on the failure of optical links in the network. This paper addresses the problem of designing IP-over-WDM networks that do not suffer service degradation in case of a single link failure. The paper proposes an approach based on the framework provided by a recent paper by M. Kurant and P. Thiran. The proposed approach can be used to design large survivable IP-over-WDM networks.

This paper studies network recovery methods for WDM optical mesh networks, concentrating on improving spare resource utilization. The resource efficiency can be obtained by sharing spare resources needed for network recovery. To improve the sharability of spare resources in WDM networks, methods to share backup paths us well as spare capacity should be studied. The proposed method in this paper uses multiple ring-covers and this method provides fast and simple recovery operation by exploiting the characteristics of logical ring topology, and also provides efficient resource utilization by using multiple distributed backup paths to improve the sharability of overall spare resources in the networks. This method can provide layered reliability to network service by enabling hierarchical robustness against multiple failures. The performance results show that the proposed method provide improved resource efficiency for single failure and enhanced robustness for multiple failures.

Because of internet's growth, today's network has a serious bandwidth problem. WDM(Wavelength Division Multiplexing) is a solution of this problem. In the WDM networks, QoS(Quality of Service) is as important as bandwidth. And today's voice over IP technology makes a lot of delay-sensitive internet traffic. De]ay-sensitive internet traffic is growing up, so more QoS is needed. We proposed effective solution to assign QoS.

To effectively supervise WDM systems requires that the alarm signals for each optical transport network layer is considered. The related recommendations and studies for alarm signals are defining fundamental functions without specifying the structure and configuration of the supervisory channel. In this paper, we propose the detailed alarm signals and propagation flows for each optical transport network layer. We also describe the structure of overhead and the configuration of supervisory channel. Our proposals are based on the ITU T requirements of optical transport network and the supervisory schemes of terminal & add-drop systems. We show that our proposed schemes effectively performs supervisory functions for various fault conditions which will occur in terminal & add-drop typed WDM systems.

This paper compares some architectures to achieve the optimized WDM architecture for all optical transport network, the comparison is presented in terms of the number of required wavelength and LT. These architecture types are PPWDM, SHWDM, DHWDM and fully optical WDM. Topology is a static ring network where the routing pattern is fixed and traffic pattern has uniform demand. This paper also proposes an algorithm for the wavelength assignment for a folly optical WDM ring network which has full mesh traffic pattern. The algorithm is based on heuristic algorithm which assigns traffic connections according to their respective shortest path. Traffic described here that is to be passed through can be routed directly within the optical layer instead of having the higher layer to handle it.

The capacity of backbone networks has largely kept pace with the tremendous of growth of Internet traffic. But there has been little progress in the access networks. In this paper, we introduce the access network that is able to offers high bandwidth and its simple protocol. The network architecture is basically multiple ring and use WDM(Wavelength Division Multiplexing), SCM (SubCarrier Multiplexing), and static WADM (Wavelenth Add/Drop Multiplexer) for simplicity, low cost, and offering high bandwidth.

In this thesis, we analyze the Broadcast and Select Network(BSN) architecture coming up to the issues among those in the single-hip WDM networks and the degradation of performance in consequence of the traffic imbalance which well be able to be produced in these network. We propose WDM networks architecture which can support concurrency services by using Array Wavelength Tunable Filter(AWTF) with the parrallel hardware structure as a solution. For the sake of multichannel communications, we make use of the Single Control channel, Multiple Data channel(SCMD) scheme that is one of the channel architecture. Also, we compare and analize the throughput of Uniform & Nonuniform traffic conditions, and obtain the optimized number of AWTF being able to guarantee the Quality of Service(QoS) required by the enlargement of WDM netowrks and traffic imbalance. Therefore, we can make it possible that the design of the WDM networks with BSN architecture ensures the optimized performance.
