Feature Issue on Waveband Switching, Routing, and Grooming Wavelength switching is
used in current light-path networks to set up connections between node pairs. With the …

With the increase of the number of wavelengths per fiber, waveband switching has been
proposed to decrease the number of switching ports in optical nodes. Another concept, that …

As the number of wavelengths in a single optical fiber increases, so does the number of
ports needed for wavelength switching in optical cross-connects (OXCs), which may …

For the last few decades, fiber optic cables not only replaced copper cables but also made
drastic evolution in the technology to overcome the optoelectronic bandwidth mismatch …

For the purpose of reducing the complexity and cost of optical large-scale cross-connect,
wavelengths are grouped into wavebands or fiber to be switched as a single entity, which is …

Feature Issue on Waveband Switching, Routing, and Grooming Optical networks using
wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) are the foremost solution to the ever-increasing …

This paper proposes two lightpath-level active rerouting algorithms, namely, the least
resources rerouting algorithm and the load balanced rerouting algorithm, in all-optical WDM …

Telecommunication networks recently have seen a large increase in traffic demands,
especially data traffic as compared to voice traffic. With the advances in fiber optics and …

Feature Issue on Waveband Switching, Routing, and Grooming We consider multigranular
optical networks using waveband switching (WBS) technology. The use of advanced WDM …

In this paper we investigate traffic-engineering issues in Wavelength Division Multiplexing
(WDM) alloptical networks. In such networks, the wavelength continuity constraint along with …
