Abstract

The problem of minimizing the number of optical nodes with signal regeneration capability can be constrained to guarantee a desired degree of end-to-end connectivity in the all-optical transport network. The problem can be formulated using a k-connected, k-dominating node set, which is a known approach in mobile ad hoc wireless networks. This paper presents a preliminary study aimed at establishing whether efficient centralized solutions to this problem in optical networking ought to be investigated to improve the decentralized solutions already available for wireless networks.
