Abstract
Physical impairments originating from optical fiber components and intermediate switching nodes can be the dominant reason calls are blocked in wide-area all-optical wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) networks. When a centralized network controller is used, estimating the impact of the physical impairments on the quality of a lightpath before provisioning it can cause a significant delay. In this paper, quality of service aware wavelength assignment algorithms are proposed that consider both bit-error rate (BER) and latency constraints. A novel wavelength assignment technique called wavelength ordering is shown via simulation to reduce the call blocking probability resulting from both physical impairments and excessive processing delay caused by channel BER estimation.
