The reach of electric transmission lines has been shrinking with the increase of per-lane
signaling rates, causing the proportion of ports that need to be optical to increase …

This research focuses on algorithms for autonomous reconfiguration of backbone networks
utilizing the free space optical (FSO) technology. Such networks consist of high data rate …

This book takes a pragmatic approach to deploying state-of-the-art optical networking
equipment in metro-core and backbone networks. The book is oriented towards practical …

Traffic grooming techniques are used to combine low-speed data streams onto high-speed
lightpaths with the objective of minimizing the network cost, or maximizing the network …

The large investments required for deploying passive optical networks (PONs) render the
disposal of appropriate planning tools for designing such networks in a cost-effective way a …

This paper focuses on converged access/metro infrastructures for 5G services, proposing a
common transport network integrating wireless and optical network segments with …

This paper proposes a new measure for network performance evaluation called topology
lifetime. The measure provides insight into which one of a set of topologies is likely to last …

Optical transport networks are progressively being designed around reconfigurability.
Operators require an infrastructure capable of carrying large amounts of data, but also able …

Although having high potential for broadband wireless access, wireless mesh networks are
known to suffer from throughput and fairness problems, and are thus hard to scale to large …

Aggregation of wavelengths into wavebands is an attractive, cost-efficient way to facilitate
switching and routing in optical networks. In this paper, we study the waveband routing and …
