The transmission capacity of a link in today's optical networks has increased significantly
due to wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) technology. The network performance is …

In wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) optical networks, the bandwidth request of a
traffic stream can be much lower than the capacity of a lightpath. Efficiently grooming low …

Traffic grooming refers to techniques used to combine low-speed traffic streams onto high-
speed wavelengths in order to minimize the networkwide cost in terms of line terminating …

As the operation of our fiber-optic backbone networks migrates from interconnected SONET
rings to arbitrary mesh topology, traffic grooming on wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) …

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 …

We employ a new, generic graph model for dynamic traffic grooming in WDM mesh
networks. The novelty of this model is that, by only manipulating the edges of an auxiliary …

This paper investigates the characteristics and performance of different optical grooming
switches, ie, optical cross-connects (OXCs) capable of traffic grooming, under a dynamic …

Traffic grooming is concerned with the design, operation, and control of networks with
multigranular bandwidth demands. As the number of resources in a multigranular network …

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 …
