Modeling, Simulation, Design and Engineering of WDM Systems and
Networks provides readers with the basic skills, concepts, and design
techniques used to begin design and engineering of optical communication
systems and networks at various layers. The latest semi-analytical
system simulation techniques are applied to optical WDM systems and
networks, and a review of the various current areas of optical
communications is presented. Simulation is mixed with experimental
verification and engineering to present the industry as well as
state-of-the-art research.
This contributed volume is divided into three parts, accommodating
different readers interested in various types of networks and
applications. The first part of the book presents modeling approaches
and simulation tools mainly for the physical layer including
transmission effects, devices, subsystems, and systems), whereas the
second part features more engineering/design issues for various types of
optical systems including ULH, access, and in-building systems. The
third part of the book covers networking issues related to the design of
provisioning and survivability algorithms for impairment-aware and
multi-domain networks.
Intended for professional scientists, company engineers, and university
researchers, the text demonstrates the effectiveness of computer-aided
design when it comes to network engineering and prototyping.
