The handbook of optical communication networks
Mohammad Ilyas, Hussein T. Mouftah [editors]
2003 by CRC Press
Preface
During the last 3 decades, the field of telecommunications has witnessed
tremendous growth. Proliferation of the Internet has started a true revolution
that is expected to continue through the foreseeable future. Three factors
have played major roles in the unprecedented growth of this field:
• Users’ incessant demand for high-speed communication facilities for
heavy-duty applications such as rich-content video
• Availability of high-speed transmission media such as optical fibers
• Availability of high-speed hardware such as high-resolution video
cameras and high-speed processors
These factors are leading towards an integrated high-speed (and
high-bandwidth) communication environment where all communication
needs will be supported by a single communication network. The latest
trends indicate that bandwidth needs double every 100 days. The volume
of data traffic has surpassed the volume of voice traffic. Such a monumental
demand for bandwidth can only be met by using optical fiber as transmission
media. Other bottlenecks such as bringing fiber to the desktop, or to the
home, still exist. However, eventually these obstacles will be overcome.
Emerging optical communication networks represent a step in that direction.
The Handbook of Optical Communication Networks
is a source of comprehensive
reference material for such networks. The material presented here
is intended for professionals in the communications industry who are
designers and/or planners for emerging telecommunication networks,
researchers (faculty members and graduate students), and those who would
like to learn about this field.
The handbook is organized in the following seven parts:
• Introduction and optical networks architectures
• Protocols for optical network architectures
• Resource management in optical networks
• Routing and wavelength assignment in WDM networks
• Connection management in optical networks
• Survivability in optical networks
• Enabling technologies for optical networks
Each part consists of 2 to 5 chapters dealing with the topic, and the
handbook contains a total of 21 chapters. Although this is not precisely a
textbook, it can certainly be used as one for graduate and research-oriented
courses that deal with optical communication networks. Any comments from
readers will be highly appreciated.
Many people have contributed to this handbook in their unique ways.
The first and the foremost group that deserves immense gratitude are the
highly talented and skilled researchers who have contributed the 21 chapters
to this handbook. All have been extremely cooperative and professional. It
has also been a pleasure to work with Nora Konopka, Helena Redshaw, and
Amy Rodriguez of CRC Press, and we are extremely grateful for their support
and professionalism. Our families have extended their unconditional
love and strong support throughout this project, and they all deserve very
special thanks.
