Abstract
The invention relates to a novel method for determining the set of routes that allow each network user to transmit. The method is more efficient than the existing methods, in terms of number of wavelengths, and due to the fixed routing strategy used, its implementation is simple, and its online operation is very fast.
Description
- The present invention focuses on the field of optical networks, specifically on the field of dynamic optical networks with wavelength continuity constraints and its objective is to provide a routing method for dynamic optical networks with wavelength continuity constraints.
- Routing is a basic component of network operation: each connection is defined by a pair of nodes in the network: the source node (the one that transmits the information) and the destination node (the one that receives the information). In order for said pair to communicate, the designer must assign a route to be followed by the data to be transmitted. Then, the routing problem is to assign each connection to a specific route. This problem can be solved for two different forms of network operation. These are: static network operation and dynamic network operation. Currently, optical networks are inefficient, since they work statically, that is, resources are permanently assigned to each user from source to destination, regardless of the percentage of time being used. This operation is clearly suboptimal; therefore, a possible solution is to migrate into a dynamic operation. That is, assigning resources to each user only when a communication is requested. Accordingly, the objective of this invention is to solve the problem of routing in dynamic optical networks.
- The routing problem has been widely studied in the literature, due to its large impact on the cost of the network (CapEx) and in the performance of the network. This task is generally solved in order to simultaneously minimize the cost of the network, while guaranteeing that the performance of the network meets the level established in the service-level agreement (SLA). To solve the routing problem, several approaches have been proposed, such as: fixed routing, fixed alternate routing, and adaptive routing. In “A review of routing and wavelength assignment approaches for wavelength-routed optical WDM networks” by Zang et al. published in Optical Networks Magazine, 1 (1): 47-60, 2000, there is an exhaustive revision on these routing strategies.
- The routing problem is largely affected by whether or not there is a wavelength conversion capability at the optical nodes. The wavelength conversion capability means that, if a node receives an incoming signal at a particular wavelength, then the node may transmit the signal on any output channel but using a different wavelength. The wavelength conversion technology is not fully available, therefore current optical networks must comply with the wavelength continuity constraint, that is, when an end-to-end communication between any pair of nodes is performed, the route connecting them must use the same wavelength on each link of the route. However, in the context of dynamic optical networks, different transmissions from the same user may be transmitted at different wavelengths.
- The main patents relating to the routing problem in dynamic WDM optical networks with wavelength continuity constraints are described below.
- U.S. Pat. No. 9,060,215 B2, dated Jun. 16, 2015, entitled “Network specific routing and wavelength assignment for optical communications networks”; by Miedema et. al., belonging to Ciena Corporation, discloses a genetic algorithm for solving routing and wavelength assignment in optical networks having dynamic wavelength routing. The method proposes an iterative method, based on genetic algorithms. The network operator can choose the adaptation function to find a good solution based on any criteria defined by the network operator.
- U.S. Pat. No. 8,693,871 B2, dated Apr. 8, 2014, entitled “System for routing and wavelength assignment in wavelength division multiplexing optical networks”; by Resende et. al., belonging to AT&T Intellectual Property I LP, describes a method for solving routing and wavelength assignment. This method seeks to minimize the number of wavelengths used, using a bin-packing problem solution, seeking to solve the minimum number of bins, wherein the wavelengths are bins. This method assigns the wavelengths with the new versions of the First-Fit, Best-Fit, First-Fit-Decreasing, and Best-Fit Decreasing methods, using bins.
- U.S. Pat. No. 2014/086576 A1, dated Mar. 27, 2014, entitled “Determining least-latency paths across a provider network utilizing available capacity” by Campbell et al., belonging to Verizon Patent and Licensing, Inc., discloses a system for calculating one or more alternate paths for each user of the network. The objects of this method are to minimize the latency of each user and decrease the number of necessary wavelength conversion processes. However, this technique solves this problem in a static network operation; this means that the resources are assigned to each user permanently. In contrast, our invention solves the routing problem in a dynamic network operation, whereby the resources are assigned to each user on demand, only when the user wishes to transmit to the destination.
- The present invention provides a routing method for a dynamic wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) optical network having wavelength continuity constraints, characterized in that it comprises the steps of:
-

- obtaining, by means of said processor, a plurality of non-operational routes, said plurality of non-operational routes corresponding to said plurality of users; and storing said plurality of non-operational routes in a non-operational routes database, wherein said non-operational routes are stored in said non-operational routes database sorted from shorter to longer length and, for those of equal length, from lowest to highest traffic load;
- storing, in an operational routes database, the routes having length equal to 1 and removing said route from said non-operational routes database;
- calculating, by means of said processor, the cost of each link of said network using the information from said operational routes database;
- calculating, by means of said processor, a cheapest route corresponding to the user of the first non-operational route of said non-operational routes database, using the information corresponding to the cost of each link; storing said cheapest route in said operational routes database and removing said non-operational route corresponding to said user of said non-operational routes database;
- repeating the above two steps until there are no non-operational routes in said non-operational routes database; and
- transmitting information through said network using said routes stored in said operational routes database;
- In a preferred embodiment, the method is characterized in that said non-operational routes are obtained by means of the Dijkstra algorithm.
- In another preferred embodiment, the method is characterized in that said cheapest routes are obtained by means of the Dijkstra algorithm weighted by the cost of each link.

- The method that is object of the present invention implements a cheapest path by layers algorithm (hereinafter referred to in the text as CPL), which is based on the cheapest path connecting a source node 210 to a destination node 210 in the provider network 110, while, simultaneously, the traffic load on the links in the network is as balanced as possible. Each pair of nodes 210 represents a user u, which communicates via a route ru. It is assumed that the cost Cr
u of the route ru is equal to the cost of the user u, and is given by the sum of the cost of each link, , assigned to each link belonging to the user's route. Specifically, is calculated by the equation (1) and Cru is calculated by the equation (2). -
- It should be noted that the traffic load of each user is stored in the
users database 430 of theusers information system 130. -
-
- The operation of the CPL method can be performed in the
environment 100 as shown inFIG. 1 . The configuration may be comprised of aprovider network 110 and a networktopology information system 120, which contains the structure of the network topology of theprovider 110. It may also contain ausers information system 130, which contains the set of users (pair of source and destination nodes) using theprovider network 110 and the traffic load of each user. In addition, theenvironment 100 has a cheapest path bylayers calculator system 150, responsible for calculating the cheapest route for each user, which is connected to the networktopology information system 120 and theusers information system 130 through thecommunication system 140. - The
provider network 110 is an optical network, which can be modeled as a graph =(,), composed of a set of nodes interconnected by a set of optical fiber links 220. Anetwork node 210 may be any type of optical network (that is, an optical cross-connect—OXC) without wavelength conversion capabilities. - The network
topology information system 120 may be a server or network device within or outside theprovider network 110. The networktopology information system 120 is stored in atopology database 330 and may be comprised of aninput interface 310 that receives a request or data from thecommunication system 140 that are processed by aprocessor 320.Topology database 330 includes thenode information 210 and thelink information 220 in theprovider network 110, using a nodes table 350 to store thenodes 210 and another links table 360 to store thelinks 220, as described inFIGS. 3B and 3C , respectively. To communicate with other systems or devices, the networktopology information system 120 may send messages using theoutput interface 340. - The
users information system 130 may be a server or network device outside theprovider network 110 and may be comprised of aninput interface 410 that receives information requests from thecommunication system 140. This information is processed by theprocessor 420 and may be stored in theusers database 430. Theusers database 430 contains all users data (pairs of nodes) in theprovider network 110, and the traffic load associated with each of them, as presented in the users table 450 shown inFIG. 4B . To interact with other systems and devices, theusers information system 130 may send messages using theoutput interface 440. - The cheapest path by
layers calculator system 150 may be a server or a computer device capable of communicating with other devices, for example, a desktop computer or laptop computer, outside theprovider network 110. The cheapest path by layers calculator system may be composed of aninput interface 510, which accepts requests or information from thecommunication system 140. During execution of the CPL algorithm, the cheapest path bylayers calculator system 150 may request data regarding the network topology and users to the networktopology information system 120 andusers information system 130, respectively. Said information is stored in the device's own databases, either in thetopology database 520 with topology information, or in theusers database 530 with the users data. Thelink cost calculator 540 and theroute calculator 550 use the information stored in thenon-operational routes database 560 and theoperational routes database 570 to calculate the costs of each link and each route, respectively. Theoperational routes database 570 contains all those users and their routes, having their definitive routes calculated during execution of the CPL algorithm. On the other hand, thenon-operational routes database 560 contains the other users, that is, those who do not possess a definitive route defined during execution of the CPL algorithm. Thelink cost calculator 540 uses thetopology database 520 information, theusers database 530, and the operational routes database to calculate the cost associated with eachlink 220. At the same time, theroutes calculator 550 is in charge of calculating the route for each user. For delivery, the results of the CPL algorithm execution may be stored in theroutes database 580, or sent to another system or device using theoutput interface 590, as a routs table 630, as shown inFIG. 5D . - The structure of the non-operational routes table 610, the operational routes table 620, and the routes table 630 are shown in
FIGS. 5B, 5C and 5D , respectively. - The
communication system 140 may be any network system that allows to connect two or more devices, such as the cellular network, the public land mobile network (PLMN), a second generation (2G) network, a third generation (3G) network, a fourth generation (4G), a long-term evolution (LTE) network, a fifth generation (5G), a code division multiple access (CDMA) network, a global system for mobile communications (GSM) network, a general packet radio service (GPRS), a local area network (LAN), a wide area network (WAN), a metropolitan area network (MAN), an ad hoc network, an Intranet, the Internet, a fiber optic based network, a satellite network, television network, or a mixture of one or more of these systems. - The CPL method is executed in the cheapest path by
layers calculator system 150 and its operation is described below: -

layers calculator system 150 requests the network topology information from the networktopology information system 120 and stores it in itsown topology database 520. - 2. The cheapest path by
layers calculator system 150 requests the users information and their traffic loads from theusers information system 130, storing them in thenon-operational routes database 560. - 3. The

- 5. The
route calculator 550 stores the initial set of the users route in thenon-operational routes database 560. - 6. The
routes calculator 550 classifies the routes of thenon-operational routes database 560 according to their length (that is, the number of links comprising the route), from shortest to longest. The routes with the same length are ordered by their traffic load (from lowest to highest). In the case of tie, the order is arbitrarily chosen. - 7. The
routes calculator 550 moves all users with a route length equal to 1, from thenon-operational routes database 560 to theoperational routes database 570. - 8. The
