Abstract

In this paper, we provide a polynomial-time approximation algorithm for Call Control and Routing problems in SONET rings. In this problem, we are given a SONET ring and a set of calls, each of which is described by a source-destination pair of nodes together with an integer specifying the call demand, the aim is to devise a routing scheme such that the total demand transmitted is maximum subject to the bandwidth restriction. We first give an NP-hardness proof for this problem. Then a polynomial-time approximation algorithm is provided. When dmax ≤ 1/K d* (where K 2 is a constant, d* is the available bandwidth of the ring and dmax is the largest call demand among all the calls), the algorithm outputs a routing scheme with total demand transmitted at least as (1 - 7/2K+3 ) times the optimum.
