Designing low cost scalable networks is driven by increased internet traffic and high bandwidth demand. Optical networks combined with WiMAX forming a hybrid network is one such structure. The existing Wavelength Division Multiplexed Passive Optical Networks suffer from huge bandwidth wastage when the demands are very small compared to the channel capacity. To overcome this drawback, we have replaced passive optical network with an elastic optical network. The routing and resource allocation algorithms are formulated for this hybrid network. Our proposed algorithms efficiently utilize channel capacity and network resources.
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.
