We study grooming for two-period optical networks, a variation of the tra c grooming problem for WDM ring networks introduced by Colbourn, Quattrocchi, and Syrotiuk.

We study grooming for two-period optical networks, a variation of the traffic grooming problem for WDM ring networks introduced by Colbourn, Quattrocchi, and Syrotiuk. In the two-period grooming problem, during the first period of time, there is all-to-all uniform traffic among $n$ nodes, each request using $1/C$ of the bandwidth; and during...

In wavelength division multiplexing for unidirectional rings, traffic grooming is used to pack low rate signals into higher rate streams to share a wavelength. The grooming chosen determines the number of add-drop multiplexers used for the optical-to-electronic conversion. The determination of groomings to use the fewest multiplexers is...
