Wavelength Converter Placement Scheme for Optical Network with Sparse-Partial Wavelength Conversion Capability

In this paper it is proposed a new wavelength converter placement scheme called First Load Priority FLP, useful for designing and planning of optical networks with sparsepartial wavelength conversion architecture. A performance evaluation of FLP working in different scenarios is provided. Comparing to other wavelength converter placement schemes like MBPF, TOT and XC, FLP achieved better performance results in all scenarios studied, very close to that achieved from a fullcomplete wavelength conversion architecture.
