Method for assigning wavelengths in wavelength division multiplexing ring communication network

摘要

A method for assigning a predetermined wavelength between two different nodes in a wavelength division multiplexing ring communication network that has an N number of nodes and at least one pair of optical fibers sequentially connecting the N number of nodes. A matrix is formed to represent optical-path configuration and wavelength assignment for an N-1 number of nodes. The matrix is extended by adding a column at any position of the matrix. Then X is assigned to the added column. An N/2 number of rows is added in the matrix. N is an even number. X represents that an optical path of the corresponding node is not formed.
