A New Dynamic Wavelength Assignment Algorithm: Load Equalization Algorithm

摘要

Routing and Wavelength Assignment is a key problem of WDM networks. A new dynamic wavelength assignment algorithm: Load Equalization Algorithm is proposed. This algorithm equalizes the load on wavelengths, maximizes the wavelength number reserved on each link; at the same time, it models the influence of assigning a wavelength on the network more accurately and minimizes the influence. The simulation results show that it performs better than other previously proposed algorithms in most cases.
