Abstract

See full text

One or more processors receives data that includes a plurality of light paths of an optical network. The one or more processors partition the plurality of light paths into a plurality of abutting segments such that a given pair of abutting segments have a combined length of, at most, a maximum distance a signal can travel in the light path of the pair before the signal suffers one or both of dispersion and attenuation in excess of a threshold. The One or more processors determine optical regenerator placement in the optical network using a first polynomial-time algorithm. The placement optical regenerators in the network is based, at least in part, on the partitioning.
