scholarly journals The Recent Contributions of Routing and Spectrum Assignment Algorithms in Elastic Optical Network (EON)

The speed is an important aspect of the current generation of Internet users. Currently WDM based optical fiber technology provides a good solution, still it is insufficient for future growth of cloud data centers, social media applications, online gaming, high definition video streaming and broadcasting, etc. The Elastic Optical Networks (EONs) recently added an energetic research field in the fiber-optic network. The EON is next generation of network that can provide flexibly in spectrum, improved service provisioning and accommodate high bandwidth applications in the single channel. In WDM, the Routing and Wavelength Assignment (RWA) is problem, likewise the EON has Routing and Spectrum Assignment (RSA) problem. In RSA problem the frequency slots (FSs) should allocate in continuity and contiguous manner for every demand request. Many research articles are published over the years to find the new feasible solutions for the RSA problem. This paper presents the recent approaches based on routing and spectrum assignment problem and fragmentation schemes which examines and compare the performance, features, and complexity of the approaches. This paper provides merits and demerits of existing approaches in RSA problem and provides more information about the approaches it will help for feature research.

All-optical networks transmit messages along lightpaths in which the signal is transmitted using the same wavelength in all the relevant links. We consider the problem of switching cost minimization in these networks. Specifically, the input to the problem under consideration is an optical network modeled by a graph G, a set of lightpaths modeled by paths on G, and an integer g termed the grooming factor. One has to assign a wavelength (modeled by a color) to every lightpath, so that every edge of the graph is used by at most g paths of the same color. A lightpath operating at some wavelength λ uses one Add/Drop multiplexer (ADM) at both endpoints and one Optical Add/Drop multiplexer (OADM) at every intermediate node, all operating at a wavelength of λ. Two lightpaths, both operating at the same wavelength λ, share the ADMs and OADMs in their common nodes. Therefore, the total switching cost due to the usage of ADMs and OADMs depends on the wavelength assignment. We consider networks of ring and path topology and a cost function that is a convex combination α·|OADMs|+(1−α)|ADMs| of the number of ADMs and the number of OADMs deployed in the network. We showed that the problem of minimizing this cost function is NP-complete for every convex combination, even in a path topology network with g=2. On the positive side, we present a polynomial-time approximation algorithm for the problem.

Routing and wavelength assignment problem is one of the main problem in optical networks. The foremost problem is the routing problem after which the wavelength assignment is to be decided. In this paper we have proposed a routing strategy for optimization of the performance of the optical network in terms of blocking probability. The strategy proposed is better than the conventional algorithm in terms of blocking.
