Abstract(in English) | In WDM networks where lightpaths are utilized for data transmission, it is expected that the service differentiation can be provided in terms of lightpath blocking probability. On the other hand, it is also important to utilize limited number of wavelengths effectively. In order to provide the service differentiation and utilize wavelengths effectively, a lightpath establishment method with Markov decision process (MDP) has been proposed. However, this method can be utilized in only WDM networks with full-range wavelength conversion. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a lightpath establishment method which can be utilized in WDM networks with limited-range wavelength conversion. In our proposed method, based on the information about the utilization of output wavelengths and a wavelength selection algorithm, the optimal policy is derived by using MDP. With the optimal policy, the service differentiation and the effective wavelength utilization can be provided. In numerical examples, we derive the optimal policy for the proposed method and investigate the impact of a reward function on the optimal policy. In addition, we compare the performance of the proposed method with that of the conventional method in 3-node WDM networks and show the effectiveness of the proposed method. |
