It is found that the number and the corresponding frequencies of the extremum spontaneous PT-symmetric breaking points are dependent on the waveguide length ratio. Near the extremum breaking points, ultrastrong extraordinary transmissions are created and the maximal can arrive at, respectively, 2.4079 × 10^14 and 4.3555 × 10^13 in both kinds of networks. However, bidirectional invisibility can only be produced by the networks with broken integer waveguide length ratio, whose mechanism is explained in detail from the perspective of photonic band structure. The findings of this work can be useful optical characteristic control in the fabrication of PT-symmetric optical waveguide networks, which possesses great potential in designing optical amplifiers,optical energy saver devices, and special optical filters.展开更多

Firstly, a cross-layer optimization model is built, which considers the Doppler wavelength shift, the transmission delay as well as wavelength-continuity constraint.

Simulation results show that CL-ACRWA performs well in communication success probability and has good global search ability as well as fast convergence speed. Meanwhile, the transmission delay can meet the basic requirement of real-time transmission of business.展开更多

To enhance the existing security approaches of optical networks, a new promising technology, quantum key distribu- tion （QKD）, can securely encrypt services in optical networks, which has been a hotspot of research in recent years for its characteristic that can let clients know whether infomlation transmission has been eavesdropped or not. In this paper, we apply QKD to provide secret keys for optical networks and then introduce the architecture of QKD based optical net- work. As for the secret keys generated by QKD in optical net- works, we propose a re-transmission mechanism by analyzing the security risks in QKD-based optical networks. Numerical results indicate that the proposed re-transmission mechanism can provide strong protection degree with enhanced attack protection. Finally, we illustrated some future challenges in QKD-based optical networks.展开更多

However,most proposed DBA schemes ignore the quality of service（QoS） guarantee on maximum delay and delay jitter for the real-time traffic and the downstream bandwidth utilization under light upstream load in EPON. In this paper,a new DBA scheme,QoS guaranteed adaptive downstream bandwidth utilization（QoS-ADBU）,is proposed. This scheme can provide better QoS assurance by determining the maximum transmission cycle time according to the maximum acceptable packet delay and delay jitter for real-time traffic. Besides,the downstream utilization can also be improved by adapting the polling frequency to downstream traffic load.展开更多

The model consid- ers the traffic demand, user requirements and physical constraints. It can support conven- tional star-like topologies as well as cascade PON networks. Then a two-stage evolutional algorithm is described to solve this problem. The first stage was to find a proper splitter can- didate site set, composing the outer loop. The second stage aimed to get the optimal topology when the splitter locations were selected, com- posing the internal loop. In this algorithm, the Pr/ifer sequence is used to build up a one-to-one correspondence between a PON network configuration and a chromosome. Compared with the results obtained by the enumeration method, the proposed model and algorithm are shown to be effective and accu- rate.展开更多

This network is capable of both IP layer grooming and wavelength grooming in a hierarchical manner. Resource provisioning in the multi-granular network paradigm is called hierarchical grooming problem. An integer linear programming （ILP） model is proposed to formulate the problem. An iterative heuristic approach is developed for solving the problem in large networks. Case study shows that IP/MG-OXC network is much more extendible and can significantly save the overall network cost as compared with IP over wavelength division multiplexing network.

文摘Due to the vulnerability of fibers in optical networks, physical- layer attacks targeting photon splitting, such as eavesdrop- ping, can potentially lead to large information and revenue loss. To enhance the existing security approaches of optical networks, a new promising technology, quantum key distribu- tion （QKD）, can securely encrypt services in optical networks, which has been a hotspot of research in recent years for its characteristic that can let clients know whether infomlation transmission has been eavesdropped or not. In this paper, we apply QKD to provide secret keys for optical networks and then introduce the architecture of QKD based optical net- work. As for the secret keys generated by QKD in optical net- works, we propose a re-transmission mechanism by analyzing the security risks in QKD-based optical networks. Numerical results indicate that the proposed re-transmission mechanism can provide strong protection degree with enhanced attack protection. Finally, we illustrated some future challenges in QKD-based optical networks.

文摘Dynamic bandwidth allocation（DBA） is an open and hot topic in the Ethernet passive optical network（EPON） ,which is regarded as one of the best choices for next-generation access networks. However,most proposed DBA schemes ignore the quality of service（QoS） guarantee on maximum delay and delay jitter for the real-time traffic and the downstream bandwidth utilization under light upstream load in EPON. In this paper,a new DBA scheme,QoS guaranteed adaptive downstream bandwidth utilization（QoS-ADBU）,is proposed. This scheme can provide better QoS assurance by determining the maximum transmission cycle time according to the maximum acceptable packet delay and delay jitter for real-time traffic. Besides,the downstream utilization can also be improved by adapting the polling frequency to downstream traffic load.

文摘In this paper,a new architecture of optical networks—the optical network based on server system is considered.From the point of this new architecture,the network can be modeled as a server system with three type servers—the access server,the node server and the link server. The network performances such as cost,energy consume and network capacity can be affected by the capability of these three type servers.New ILP formulations are proposed to analyze the network capacity under two types of node severs,with and without wavelength converter.Computer simulations are conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of these new formulations.The study has shown that the network can achieve the same throughput under the two types of node servers and the network throughput increases when the maximum allowed variation increases.

文摘A Mixed Line Rate(MLR)optical network is a good candidate for a core backbone network because of its ability to provide diverse line rates to effectively accommodate traffic demands with heterogeneous bandwidth requirements.Because of the deleterious effects of physical impairments,there is a maximum transmission reach for optical signals before they have to be regenerated.Being expensive devices,regenerators are expected to be sparsely located and used in such a network,called a translucent optical network.In this paper,we consider the Grooming,Routing,and Wavelength Assignment(GRWA)problem so that the Quality of Transmission(QoT)for connections is satisfied,and the network-level performance metric of blocking probability is minimized.Cross-layer heuristics to effectively allocate the sparse regenerators in MLR networks are developed,and extensive simulation results are presented to demonstrate their effectiveness.

文摘Mobile free space optical networks have aroused much attention due to the ability of providing high speed connectivity over long distance using the wireless laser links,while requiring relatively high available bandwidth resource and less energy consumption.However,maintaining the network with laserlinks is quite challenging due to a number of issues,such as the link fragility,the difficulty in pointingand tracking of the link,which also raises the great difficulty in the control of the network.In this paper,we present the methodology for the deployment of the mobile freespace optical networks based on our proposed OpenFlow-based control architecture.In addition,a new routing scheme is proposed and demonstrated on the testbed based on this control architecture.Delivery ratio,average delivery delay and time complexity are given to verify the performance of the OpenFlow-based control architecture.

文摘In this paper, we propose a mathe- matical model for long reach Passive Optical Networks （PON） planning. The model consid- ers the traffic demand, user requirements and physical constraints. It can support conven- tional star-like topologies as well as cascade PON networks. Then a two-stage evolutional algorithm is described to solve this problem. The first stage was to find a proper splitter can- didate site set, composing the outer loop. The second stage aimed to get the optimal topology when the splitter locations were selected, com- posing the internal loop. In this algorithm, the Pr/ifer sequence is used to build up a one-to-one correspondence between a PON network configuration and a chromosome. Compared with the results obtained by the enumeration method, the proposed model and algorithm are shown to be effective and accu- rate.
