The key technology to delivering maximum bandwidth over networks is Dense Wave-length Division Multiplexing (DWDM) Describes in detail how DWDM works and how to implement a range of transmission protocols Covers device considerations, the pros and cons of various network layer protocols, and quality of service (QoS) issues The authors are leading experts in this field and provide real-world implementation examples First book to describe the interplay between the physical and IP (Internet Protocol) layers in optical networks
Optical Networks - Architecture and Survivability, is a state-of-the-art work on survivable and cost-effective design of control and management for networks with IP directly over Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology (or called Optical Internet). The authors address issues of signaling mechanisms, resource reservation, and survivable routing and wavelength assignment. Special emphasis has been given to the design of meshed, middle-sized, and wavelength-routed networks with dynamic traffic in the optical domain, such as the next-generation Metropolitan Area Network. Research and development engineers, graduate students studying wavelength-routed WDM networks, and senior undergraduate students with a background in algorithms and networking will find this book interesting and useful. This work may also be used as supplemental readings for graduate courses on internetworking, routing, survivability, and network planning algorithms.
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Distributed Computing and Networking, ICDCN 2014, held in Coimbatore, India, in January 2014. The 32 full papers and 8 short papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 110 submissions. They are organized in topical sections named: mutual exclusion, agreement and consensus; parallel and multi-core computing; distributed algorithms; transactional memory; P2P and distributed networks; resource sharing and scheduling; cellular and cognitive radio networks and backbone networks.
Within the past few decades, information technologies have been evolving at a tremendous rate, causing profound changes to our world and our ways of life. In particular, fiber optics has been playing an increasingly crucial role within the telecommunication revolution. Not only most long-distance links are fiber based, but optical fibers are increasingly approaching the individual end users, providing wide bandwidth links to support all kinds of data-intensive applications such as video, voice, and data services. As an engineering discipline, fiber optics is both fascinating and challenging. Fiber optics is an area that incorporates elements from a wide range of techno- gies including optics, microelectronics, quantum electronics, semiconductors, and networking. As a result of rapid changes in almost all of these areas, fiber optics is a fast evolving field. Therefore, the need for up-to-date texts that address this growing field from an interdisciplinary perspective persists. This book presents an overview of fiber optics from a practical, engineering perspective. Therefore, in addition to topics such as lasers, detectors, and optical fibers, several topics related to electronic circuits that generate, detect, and process the optical signals are covered. In other words, this book attempts to present fiber optics not so much in terms of a field of “optics” but more from the perspective of an engineering field within “optoelectronics.
