  1. Optical networks: Basics of WDM

  2. Optical networks - 1st generation the fiber serves as a transmission medium Electronic switch Optic fiber

  3. Optical networks - 2nd generation Routing in the optical domain Two complementing technologies: - Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM): Transmission of data simultaneously at multiple wavelengths over same fiber - Optical switches: the output port is determined according to the input port and the wavelength

  4. Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) Directed: Optic Fiber Symmetric: Optic Fiber Undirected: Optic Fiber

  5. Optical Switches No two inputs with the same wavelength should be routed on the same edge.

  9. The Routing Problem • Input : • A graph G=(V,E) • A set or sequence of node pairs (ai,bi) • Output: • A set or sequence of paths pi =(ai, v1, …, bi)

  10. The Load • Given a graph G=(V,E) and a set P of paths on the graph, we define: • for any edge e of the graph: • the load on this edge l(e)=|Pe| • The (maximum, minimum, average) load on the network:

  11. Wavelength Assignment Problem (WLA) • Input: • A graph G=(V,E). • A set or sequence of paths P. • Output: • A coloring w of the paths: • Constraint:

  12. Routing and WLA (RLA/WRA) • Input : • A graph G=(V,E) • A set or sequence of node pairs (ai,bi) • Output: • A set or sequence of paths pi =(ai, v1, …, bi) • A coloring w of the paths: • Constraint:

  13. Cost Measure: # of colors • For any legal coloring w of the paths:

  14. Static vs. Dynamic vs. Incremental • Static: The input is a set (of pairs or paths), the algorithm calculates its output based on the input. • Incremental (Online): • The input is a sequence of input elements (pairs or paths). • It is supplied to the algorithm one element at a time. • The output corresponding to the input element is calculated w/o knowledge of the subsequent input elements

  15. Static vs. Dynamic vs. Incremental • Dynamic: • Similar to incremental • The sequence may contain deletion requests for previous elements.

  16. WLA (A trivial lower bound) • For any instance of the WLA problem: W>=L. • Proof: • Consider an edge e, such that L=l(e). • There are L paths p1, …, p|L| using e, because the paths are simple. • Therefore :

  17. WLA (A trivial lower bound) • For some instances W > L. L=2 W=3

  18. Static WLA on Path Topologies • The GREEDY algorithm: • // The set of integers • fori = 1 to |V| do • for each path p=(x,i) do • for each path p=(i,x) do

  19. Static WLA on Path Topologies • Let • the value of after node i is processed. • Clearly, • Prove by induction on i that • Therefore:
