Optical Communication Networks (Hardcover) by Biswanath Mukherjee

Optical networks are the next revolution in technology, because they deliver the increased bandwidth demanded by the information explosion. Here is the first book to comprehensively cover this emerging wave, written for network engineers, administrators, and graduate-level students alike. It features case studies and research from pioneers at AT&T, Fujitsu, and NTT, offering hands-on knowledge that practitioners can immediately apply. The author, who is one of the few experts in this specialized field today, provides a thorough treatment of the system aspects of optical networks. His explanation of WDM (wavelength-division multiplexing) is particularly timely, as WDM is becoming the backbone for the next generation of the Internet. He also covers the hot areas of TDM (time-division multiplexing) and multicasting, explaining how these new technologies work together.

Optical Networking (Paperback) by Debra Cameron

Optical networks are spreading outward from Internet backbones to cities to corporations and even to the home. Cities are in a strategic position to create a leading-edge optical infrastructure that will drive economic growth. Optical technologies can cost-effectively meet corporate bandwidth needs today and tomorrow, from optical Internet connections offering bandwidth on demand to fiber on the LAN. Fiber to the home can provide true broadband connectivity for telecommuters as well as converged multimedia offerings for consumers. The ever-expanding need for bandwidth can only be met by optical networks and their phenomenal data capacity. In this book, the real-world applications driving optical networking deployments are explored. You'll get a detailed look inside the markets for fiber, bandwidth supply and demand, and optical networking technology. Both traditional architectures, such as SONET, and emerging paradigms, such as IP over DWDM and Gigabit Ethernet, are examined.

Optical Networks: A Practical Perspective by Rajiv Ramaswami and Kumar Sivarajan

The first edition of Optical Networks: A Practical Perspective accumulated lots of happy readers, largely because the authors took care to explain the physical phenomena that allow light to carry information, as well as the design principles that characterize good optical networks, particularly wavelength division multiplexing (WDM). Very little was assumed, and even the most complicated formulas appeared alongside annotations that shed light (sorry) on the behavior being described. The latest edition of the book has everything that made the first edition great--the physics haven't changed much, after all--as well as up-to-date information about networking equipment and techniques. The second edition is a first-class revision; you'll want it even if you already own the old version.

Optical Packet Access Protocols for WDM Networks by Kemal Bengi

In Optical Packet Access Protocols for WDM Networks, different basic and novel medium access control (MAC) protocols for WDM-based LANs/MANs, typically belonging to the group of single-hop networks, are proposed and analyzed. Thereby, solutions for the direct and efficient support of distinct Quality-of-Service (QoS) classes over the WDM transmission layer are provided. Besides a comprehensive overview on the state-of-the-art photonic metro networks, highly dynamic reservation-based access protocols relying on the passive-star and the ring topology are presented while assuming the deployment of wavelength-tunable transceivers at the network nodes.

Optical WDM Networks (Optical Networks) by Biswanath Mukherjee

Research and development on optical wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) networks have matured considerably. While optics and electronics should be used appropriately for transmission and switching hardware, note that "intelligence'' in any network comes from "software,'' for network control, management, signaling, traffic engineering, network planning, etc.The role of software in creating powerful network architectures for optical WDM networks is emphasized. Optical WDM Networks is a textbook for graduate level courses. Its focus is on the networking aspects of optical networking, but it also includes coverage of physical layers in optical networks. The author introduces WDM and its enabling technologies and discusses WDM local, access, metro, and long-haul network architectures. Each chapter is self-contained, has problems at the end of each chapter, and the material is organized for self study as well as classroom use. The material is the most recent and timely in capturing the state-of-the-art in the fast-moving field of optical WDM networking.

Optical WDM Networks: Concepts and Design Principles (Hardcover) by Jun Zheng, Hussein T. Mouftah

As a result of its huge transmission capacity and countless other advantages, fiber optics has fostered a bandwidth revolution, addressing the constantly growing demand for increased bandwidth. Within this burgeoning area, Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) has emerged as a breakthrough technology for exploiting the capacity of optical fibers. Today, WDM is deployed by many network providers for point-to-point transmission–but there is strong momentum to develop it as a full-fledged networking technology in its own right. The telecommunications industry, network service providers, and research communities worldwide are paying close attention.
