Wide-Sense Nonblocking Multicast in WDM Optical Linear Array and Ring Networks with 2-Length Extension under Index Based Routing
Authors: , ,
Abstract: Multicast communication is the concurrent transmission of data from one source node to many destination. It is widely deployed in high performance computing and communication networks.In this paper, a linear array and ring networks are extended by directly linking all nodes which are separated by one intermediate node with additional fibers which is referred as linear array and ring network with 2-length extension and wide sense nonblocking multicast is studied. The wavelength allotment methods are proposed to realize one-to-many communication over wavelength division multiplexing optical linear array and ring with 2-length extension under index-based routing and the minimum wavelength number needed is determined. The minimum wavelength number needed to support for the extended linear array and ring topologies is reduced approximately by half when compared with that of a linear array network and ring network.
