In recent years, OFDM has been the focus of extensive research efforts in optical
transmission and networking, initially as a means to overcome physical impairments in …

The year-by-year increase in electricity consumption significantly affects all nations today
from environmental, social, and economic perspectives. Various studies show that, among …

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 …

With the frequent occurrences of natural disasters damaging large portions of
communication networks and the rising risk of intentional attacks, network vulnerability to …

Power-awareness in networking attracts more attention as the trends in the energy
consumption of the Internet raise growing concerns about the environmental impacts and …

The advent of fiber optic transmission systems and wavelength division multiplexing (WDM)
have led to a dramatic increase in the usable bandwidth of single fiber systems. This book …

In this article traffic-engineering issues regarding network survivability, traffic grooming,
impairment-aware routing, virtual-topology engineering, and coordination among multiple …

In this paper we consider the optimal design and provisioning of WDM networks for the
grooming of multicast subwavelength traffic. We develop a unified framework for the optimal …

We consider the problem of traffic grooming in WDM path, star, and tree networks. Traffic
grooming is a variant of the well-known logical topology design, and is concerned with the …
