Delay time estimation for optical inverse multiplexing by parallel routes in WDM optical path networks with mesh topology

抄録

Optical inverse multiplexing is a promising technology for high-rate data transmission and rapidly increased demand for capacity. To realize this technology, a key issue is the buffering to alleviate the delay among parallel routes. As described in this paper, delay time characteristics of optical inverse multiplexing using optical parallel routes in WDM mesh networks are evaluated quantitatively for rapid capacity demand, comparison with the case of whether the existing route is still used or not.
