Optimizing Amplifier Placements in a Multiwavelength Optical LAN/MAN: The Unequally Powered Wavelengths Case

Optical networks based on passive-star couplers and employing WDM have been proposed for deployment in local and metropolitan areas. These networks suffer from splitting, coupling, and attenuation losses. Since there is an upper bound on transmitter power and a lower bound on receiver sensitivity, optical amplifiers are usually required to compensate for the power losses mentioned above. Due to the high cost of amplifiers, it is desirable to minimize their total number in the network. However, an optical amplifier has constraints on the maximum gain and the maximum output power it can supply; thus, optical amplifier placement becomes a challenging problem. In fact, the general problem of minimizing the total amplifier count is a mixed-integer nonlinear problem. Previous studies have attacked the amplifier-placement problem by adding the “artificial” constraint that all wavelengths, which are present at a particular point in a fiber, be at the same power level. This constraint simplifies the problem into a solvable mixed integer linear program. Unfortunately, this artificial constraint can miss feasible solutions that have a lower amplifier count but do not have the equally powered wavelengths constraint. In this paper, we present a method to solve the minimum amplifier- placement problem, while avoiding the equally powered wavelength constraint. We demonstrate that, by allowing signals to operate at different power levels, our method can reduce the number of amplifiers required.

Minimizing the Number of Optical Amplifiers Needed to Support a Multi-Wavelength Optical LAN/MAN

Optical networks based on passive star couplers and employing wavelength-division multiplexing (WDhf) have been proposed for deployment in local and metropolitan areas. Amplifiers are required in such networks to compensate for the power losses due to splitting and attenuation. However, an optical amplifier has constraints on the maximum gain and the maximum output power it can supply; thus optical amplifier placement becomes a challenging problem. The general problem of minimizing the total amplifier count, subject to the device constraints, is a mixed-integer non-linear problem. Previous studies have attacked the amplifier placement problem by adding the “artificial” constraint that all wavelengths, which are present at a particular point in a fiber, be at the same power level. In this paper, we present a method to solve the minimum amplifier- placement problem while avoiding the equally powered- wavelength constraint. We demonstrate that, by allowing signals to operate at different power levels, our method can reduce the number of amplifiers required in several small to medium-sized networks.

Valutazione sperimentale di tecnologie per la creazione di VPN in ambito LAN/WAN

Il documento riporta, con prove sperimentali, un confronto tra le prestazioni che diverse tecnologie VPN hanno all'interno dello scenari wired e wireless. Il protocollo di tunneling utilizzato per la creazione delle VPN incide in modo particolare sulle performance della rete. L'obiettivo è proprio quello di valutare il protocollo che fornisce una qualità migliore a livello prestazionale, il tutto tramite un insieme mirato di test.

Rdnet network - protocollo di comunicazione tra controller e pc tramite cavo lan

Questo documento presenta la relazione di una tesi in azienda svolta presso la ditta RCF spa a Reggio Emilia. La tesi consiste nell’apportare migliorie ad un software preesistente, che opera nel campo di dispositivi audio di diverse tipologie (es casse e mixer), i quali normalmente vengono utilizzati nel sistema d’impianto audio in un concerto. In particolare la nuova funzionalità sviluppata consiste nell’implementazione del protocollo di comunicazione tra controllore e PC mediante l’utilizzo di una connessione Ethernet.

[Optimised glycaemic control and dose titration with insulin glargine (Lantus) by general practitioners in Switzerland: results of the OPTI-LAN Postmarketing Study]

National and international societies have published guidelines regarding glycaemic control in type-2 diabetes mellitus. Clinical studies have shown that glycaemic control of type-2 diabetes mellitus can be improved using simple algorithms for titration of insulin Glargine (Lantus). It is unclear, to what degree published guidelines are adopted in daily practice in Switzerland.
