In this work, optimal assignment of full range wavelength converters have done over available nodes in wavelength division multiplexing optical network to maximize the total utilization of deployed converters. This will increase the performance by cost ratio by keeping the deployed converters busy maximally. The optimization model has solved by heuristic method to search the solution space efficiently through self adaptive form of differential evolution. A mechanism has also proposed to handle the dynamic utilization under the same network through maintaining the diversity in the population by insertion of a new member in each generation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
