A new synchronous digital hierarchical Bi-directional ring capacity design algorithm based on the shortest-route traffic matrix

In this paper, the concept of the Shortest-Route Traffic Matrix(SRTM) was first presented, and the generalized formula for computing ring capacity requirement in use of SRTM is given. Then, a new capacity design algorithm which is based on SRTM was presented for Synchronous Digital Hierarchical(SDH) Bi-directional Self-Healing Ring (BSHR). The algorithm simulation results demonstrate that this algorithm is very efficient for SDH BSHR capacity design and can make less project investment and make high utilization of lines and equipment. By means of the algorithm in this paper, capacity optimization assignment for SDH Hierarchical Self-Healing Ring (HSHR) and for ATM Virtual Path (VP)-based Self-Healing Ring (SHR) is also discussed.
