    摘要: A fast shared path allocation technique is disclosed. Network nodes are pre-configured such that data from multiple data sources or multiple primary data paths may be sent via a shared secondary data path. Merge nodes merge input from a plurality of input ports onto an output port. The merge nodes implement a blocking function such that upon receipt of a signal from one of the input ports, the signals from the other input ports are blocked from reaching the output port. Upon a triggering event indicating a need to allocate the shared path, the data is first sent to the merge node where it is appropriately merged onto the output link and transmitted towards its destination. Only after the data has been sent does the merge node block the remaining input ports from reaching the output port. This blocking may be performed automatically by the merge node or by conventional network signaling.

    摘要: Network design techniques and techniques for routing virtually-concatenated data traffic in a network in a manner which distributes delay to intermediate nodes of the network are disclosed. For example, in one aspect of the invention, a technique for routing virtually-concatenated data traffic in a network comprising a plurality of nodes comprises, for a given traffic demand to be routed from a source node to a destination node in the network, the following steps/operations. Two or more paths are determined to route the given traffic demand. Each of the two or more paths correspond to a member of a virtually-concatenated group. At least one path of the two or more paths comprises the source node, the destination node and at least one other node coupled between the source node and the destination node. Further, at least a subset of the source node, the destination node and the one other node buffer at least a portion of the given traffic demand such that a delay is distributed over the at least one path. The given traffic demand is routed over the two or more determined paths. The at least one path is preferably the shorter of the two or more determined paths.

    摘要: Techniques for network routing and design are provided. A technique for determining a route for a demand in a network, wherein the network comprises primary paths and secondary paths, and at least two secondary paths may share a given link, comprises the following steps/operations. First, a graph representing the network is transformed. Edges of the graph represent channels associated with paths and nodes of the graph represent nodes of the network. The transformation is performed such that costs associated with the edges reflect costs of using channels in secondary paths. Then, the shortest path between nodes corresponding to the demand is found in the transformed graph. The shortest path represents the least-cost path in the network over which the demand may be routed. When the above route determination steps/operations result in a path with at least one loop, an alternative routing process may be executed so as to determine a loopless path for the demand. Further, integer linear program formulation design techniques are provided.

For example, in one aspect of the present invention, a technique for designing an optical transmission system comprises the following steps/operations. A set of one or more demands and a set of optical transmission system elements are obtained. Elements may be consecutively coupled via a span. At least one constraint on the design of the optical transmission system is obtained. The at least one constraint comprises: (i) a signal loss in a span should not exceed a given maximum signal loss; (ii) a signal loss in a span should not exceed a given maximum signal loss and a span should be longer than a given minimum span length; (iii) a signal loss in a span should not exceed a given first maximum signal loss and a span should be longer than a given minimum span length, however, at most one in m contiguous spans can have a loss up to a given second maximum signal loss, wherein the second maximum signal loss is greater than the first maximum signal loss; or (iv) a signal loss in a span should not exceed a given maximum signal loss and a span should be longer than a given minimum span length, and an average span loss of any m consecutive spans should not exceed a given average loss, wherein the average loss is less than the given maximum signal loss. A least-cost configuration is then computed for the optical transmission system based on at least a portion of the set of one or more demands and the set of one or more optical transmission system elements such that the at least one constraint is satisfied.

    摘要: Techniques and systems for designing a network providing communication and location identification services are described. A solution point comprising parameters for each of a plurality of base stations is generated. A coverage and locatability performance value for the solution point is computed, as well as derivatives of the performance value. The coverage and locatability performance value and its derivatives are used to indicate favorable directions for searching for subsequent solution points, and subsequent solution points are generated and compared against previous solution points until an optimum solution point is found. The coverage and locatability performance value is a weighted sum of coverage and locatability values for each point in the service area of the network, with coverage values representing forward and reverse link quality and locatability values representing the probability that a point will experience an acceptable power level from at least four base stations.

    摘要: Improved p-cycle restoration techniques using a signaling protocol are disclosed. For example, a technique for use in at least one node of a data communication network for recovering from a failure, wherein the data communication network includes multiple nodes and multiple links for connecting the multiple nodes, comprises the following steps/operations. Notification of the failure is obtained at the at least one node. A determination is made whether the failure is a single link failure or one of a node failure and a multiple link failure. A pre-configured protection cycle (p-cycle) plan is implemented when the failure is a single link failure but not when the failure is one of a node failure and a multiple link failure, such that two independent paths in the network are not connected when implementing the pre-configured protection cycle plan. Implementation of the pre-configured protection cycle plan may further comprise the node sending at least one message to another node in the data communication network and/or receiving at least one message from another node in the data communication network.
