Patent EP-1314273-A1 (EP)
Inventor: PERSSON ULF A
IPC: H04B10/29
Filed: 2001-08-29
Abstract: In a WDM network, nodes connected to a common transmission medium have add/drop filters for associated channel wavelengths which passively relay all other wavelengths while subjecting these to a pass-through loss. In order to optimise the transmission distance of a network, the filter elements within a node are arranged such that those channels that have the highest link losses are relayed through as few add/drop filter elements as possible. In particular, filter elements are arranged such that received channel wavelengths with a high link loss are dropped from said transmission medium upstream of received channel wavelengths with a low link loss. Similarly, for channel wavelengths transmitted by the node, the filters are arranged such that transmitted channel wavelengths with a high link loss are added to said transmission medium downstream of transmitted channel wavelengths with a low link loss. In this manner the additional losses caused by the add/drop filters are sustained by those channels that are better able to tolerate the additional more loss. <IMAGE>

Patent EP-1378841-A1 (EP)
IPC: H04L45/02
Filed: 2002-07-02
Abstract: The invention relates to optimisation methods and apparatus, and finds
particular application in problems that are constrained by more than one objective,
such as communications network routing, network design, scheduling, capacity
planning, resource allocation, and supply chain management, among others. In
particular, embodiments of the invention are concerned with reducing the
computational complexity associated with ranking solutions to such problems with
respect to one another. 
     Embodiments involve an initial ordering process, wherein the performance of a
solution, on all of its objectives, is evaluated, and compared between solutions. In a
preferred embodiment, the performance of a solution is evaluated by calculating the
distance (in all dimensions) of the evaluated solution, considered as a point in multi-objective
space, from the origin of the multi-objective space. The solutions are then
preferably arranged as a function of their calculated distance values. Known
methods, such as "Quicksort", "Bubble sort", "Shell sort", "Merge sort" or "Heap
sort" (described in "Algorithms in C ++ ", third Edition, Sedgewick, 1998) can be used
to order the solutions as a function of the calculated distance. The ordering of
solutions is such that whichever solution is closest to the origin is placed first, and
whichever solution is furthest from the origin is placed last, in, e.g., a list of the
solutions. The computational time incurred by this ordering is approximately  O  (N 2 ) 
     Subsequently, the list of ordered solutions is input to a ranking process (which
utilizes a conventional ranking process such as that described in NSGA). Since the
first solution in the list is, by definition, on the Pareto front, then in order to identify
solutions in the first level, the solutions only have to be compared against that first
solution in the list. Essentially, therefore, the first solution in the list is the
benchmark for the Pareto front. Moreover, once those solutions that are not
dominated by the first solution, and are thus also lie on the Pareto front, have been
identified and removed from the list, the first solution of those remaining in the list
will be, by definition, on the second level Pareto front. 
     Conventional Multiobjective genetic algorithm methods incur a computational
time of  O  (mN 3 ) (where m denotes objectives, N denotes population size). Since the 
invention has removed the need to compare all solutions with all other solutions, the
computational time involved with comparing solutions with the first solution in the
list is now reduced to  O  (mN 2 ), which is a significant improvement compared to
other known methods.
