Abstract:There are two basic approaches for establishing a connection in a reconfigurable switched optical network, whose links are multiplexed with virtual channels (e.g., wavelengths or time slots). One is called path multiplexing (PM), in which the same virtual channel has to be used on each link along a path, and the other is link multiplexing (LM), in which different virtual channels may be used. In this paper, we focus on the problem of off-line permutation embedding and scheduling as a part of the comparative st… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
