Abstract

Dynamic routing and wavelength assignment problem in optical networks is a two-step problem that is influenced by the choice of a successful optimal path selection and wavelength assignment. Proper selection techniques reduce the number of wavelengths required in the network and thereby improves traffic grooming. Heuristic algorithms and integer linear programming models help in selection of route and wavelength separately. Hence, the computation time is large which makes the system slow. A cost function is computed which uses independent parameters in the network for the selection of route and wavelength for a call. The heuristic reduces computation time by combining the search of route and wavelength to be assigned. In addition, the network performance is analyzed with and without alternate routing along with proposed heuristics. The selection of proper route and wavelength finding technique is very essential since it improves the grooming factor of the network thereby allowing more traffic support by the network. Our objective is to investigate and propose a cost based heuristics for dynamic traffic routing and wavelength Assignment in WDM optical networks. For this we plan to develop cost functions and heuristics to compute the route and wavelength assignment strategy. Here, our objective is to reduce the computation time for selection of route and wavelength assignment strategy by weighted cost function. The function has to include network parameters for its processing. Our work provides an overview about DRWA by applying cost based heuristics in WDM networks. This paper explains the proposed cost function and its applications in line with selection of independent parameters. The details of other functions like cost function formulation, hop-based route assignment, available wavelength based route assignment, mathematical analysis of proposed cost function are also explained. Results and discussions based on the findings are presented.
