Mixed-grid optical networks are in a migration state where fixed-grid and flex-grid optical networks coexist. To carry point-to-multipoint (P2MP) services in mixed-grid optical networks, routing and resource allocation (RRA) problems need to be solved. Once the RRA fails, services will be blocked and then influence quality of service. The minimized spectrum for satisfying the bandwidth request of services is called as a frequency block (FB). For a service, the total number of available FBs embodies the spectrum availability on a link. Because the fixed-grid and flex-grid links have different channel spacing, spectrum availability on fixed-grid and flex-grid links needs different evaluation method. We propose a RRA algorithm in mixed-grid optical networks for P2MP services by being aware of spectrum availability. The spectrum availability is evaluated according to fixed-grid and flex-grid constraints. Our proposed algorithm achieves the lower blocking probability (BP) than that of benchmark RRA algorithms according to simulation results.

AbstractOptical fibres have been developed as a transmission medium to carry traffic in order to provide various services in telecommunications platform. Failure of this fibre caused loss of data which can interrupt communication services. This paper has been focused only on survivable schemes in order to guarantee both protection and restoration in WDM optical networks. In this paper, a dynamic resilience approach has been proposed whose objective is to route the flows in a way which minimizes the total amount of bandwidth used for working and protection paths. In the proposed approach, path-based protection is utilized because it yields lower overhead and is also suitable for global optimization where, in case of a single link failure, all the flows utilizing the failed link are re-routed to a pre-computed set of paths. The simulation results demonstrate that proposed approach is much more efficient as it provides better quality of services (QoS) in terms of network resource utilization, blocking probability etc. as compared to conventional protection and restoration schemes. The proposed approach seems to offer an attractive combination of features, with both ring like speed and mesh-like efficiency.

This paper investigates an optimal allocation of transmit power for uplink cognitive OFDMA system. The aim is to construct two optimization frameworks namely, framework-I and II for uplink cognitive OFDMA system that minimizes it’s transmit power while maintaining Quality of Service (QoS). The measures for QoS include SNR threshold for framework-I whereas, for framework-II, it is measured by minimum rate requirement (bits/sec/Hz) to obtain a certain bit error rate (BER). Simulation results reveal the effectiveness of the proposed frameworks. Additionally, for framework-I, effects of different SNR threshold and users’ power budget are observed on the allocation of transmit power. Whereas, for framework-II, effects of different target BER, users’ power budget and minimum rate requirement are observed on the allocation of transmit power. Results are also compared with the results obtained from conventional capacity maximization based resource allocation approaches in terms of allocated transmit power, energy efficiency (EE) and spectral efficiency (SE). Simulation results reveal that, the proposed frameworks are incredibly successful in terms of utilization of power budget of users and EE compared to conventional capacity maximization based resource allocation approaches.

AbstractThe blocking probability is studied for improving the quality of service of the network. The call blocking model for mode of operation to determine the types of applications suitable for Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switched (GMPLS) networks is proposed. The performance of optical network depends upon various parameters such as number of channels, number of sources, traffic intensity which directly affect the blocking probability of the network. A mathematical model of an optical network for blocking probability of cleared calls and holding calls is developed. In the proposed model, blocking probability of the network gets reduced with a large number of servers. The proposed models decrease the blocking probability of the network to a level of 10–40. In addition, the blocking performance for held calls is also analyzed to compare the amount of traffic intensity that can be handled and completed properly with that of the cleared calls probability. The blocking probability is less for cleared calls than that for held calls as more traffic intensity can be handled in case of cleared calls but the chances for call completion increases in case of held calls.


Current research interests have diverted towards the efficient priority-based routing and wavelength assignment strategy in order to enhance the quality of service in the distributed optical networks. The traditional RWA techniques such as Adaptive Routing (AR), Non priority based RWA schemes etc. are lacking of capability to reduce both the blocking probability and average end to end delay simultaneously during the transmission of networks. In this paper, an Adaptable Priority-based RWA (APRWA) schemes for optical network has been demonstrated and evaluated by utilizing the performance enhancing metric such as reduction in hop count while simultaneously handling distinguishable traffic volume. The simulation result shows considerable reduction both in the blocking probability (approx. 25%) as well as in average end to end delay near around (15 msec.) in comparison to conventional RWA techniques.

Modern vehicles are equipped with various sensors, onboard units, and devices such as Application Unit (AU) that support routing and communication. In VANETs, traffic management and Quality of Service (QoS) are the main research dimensions to be considered while designing VANETs architectures. To cope with the issues of QoS faced by the VANETs, we design an efficient SDN-based architecture where we focus on the QoS of VANETs. In this paper, QoS is achieved by a priority-based scheduling algorithm in which we prioritize traffic flow messages in the safety queue and non-safety queue. In the safety queue, the messages are prioritized based on deadline and size using the New Deadline and Size of data method (NDS) with constrained location and deadline. In contrast, the non-safety queue is prioritized based on First Come First Serve (FCFS) method. For the simulation of our proposed scheduling algorithm, we use a well-known cloud computing framework CloudSim toolkit. The simulation results of safety messages show better performance than non-safety messages in terms of execution time.
