(c2012)Joun, Carla J.Wavelength division multiplexingOptical communicationsNeural networks (Computer science)Includes bibliographical references (leaves 58-60).Optical networking is a promising solution to the growing bandwidth requirements of today’s communication networks. The continuous challenge is to look for technological advances to improve network capacity, reliability, scalability and cost. This work addresses some of these factors by presenting a rerouting strategy for reducing the effect of the wavelength continuity constraint and improving the performance of all-optical wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) networks in terms of blocking probability. The problem of routing and wavelength assignment (RWA), of main interest in this study, is critically important for increasing the efficiency of WDM networks under wavelength continuity constraint. The proposed scheme introduces a rerouting strategy based on wavelength reassignment, with the First-Fit (FF) wavelength assignment algorithm, and route deviation, utilizing the Least Congested Path (LCP) routing algorithm. In addition, this approach is applied in the context of quality of service (QoS) differentiation to help network service providers to satisfy and guarantee service transmission priorities and tolerable delay requirements. Finally, a neural network model is developed to investigate the prediction of upcoming blocking times in the network in an attempt to reduce the network disruption caused by unnecessary rerouting, therefore improving the performance of the proposed strategy. Extensive simulations allowed us to verify our proposed rerouting strategy and enhancement models and assert their effectiveness in enhancing the network performance in terms of blocking probability especially for networks utilizing a small number of wavelengths per fiber.1 bound copy: xiii, 62 leaves; col. ill.; 31 cm. available at RNL.2012-06-01T08:30:28Z2012-06-01T08:30:28Z20122012-06-012012-02-20Thesisinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesishttp://hdl.handle.net/10725/1176https://doi.org/10.26756/th.2012.10eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:laur.lau.edu.lb:10725/11762020-11-20T08:00:26Z |
