Advanced Centralized RWA Protocol for WDM Networks
Abstract:
Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) networks require efficient Routing and Wavelength
Assignment (RWA) techniques to handle increasing traffic demands, reduce blocking probability, and
optimize wavelength utilization. Distributed RWA approaches suffer from inconsistent global
knowledge, limited scalability, and suboptimal wavelength selection under dynamic traffic loads. This
paper proposes an Advanced Centralized RWA (AC-RWA) protocol designed to maintain complete
network state information, utilize traffic prediction, and perform global optimization of routes and
wavelengths.
