Written by leading practitioners from such cutting-edge companies as Alcatel, Siemens, Lucent, France Telecom, BT, and Telefonica, Core and Metro Networks provides a comprehensive overview of the status, the challenges, the architectures, and technological solutions for core and metropolitan networks aiming to support broadband services. Describing the state-of-the-art of fixed communication networks, the text brims with todayÕs hottest topics, including multi-hop optical networks, dynamic networks as well as data-centric networks, making it essential reading for researchers in industry and academia and advanced students in communications, networking, and optics courses.
Find out everything you need to know about how current networks will have to evolve to provide for future broadband services
In this book, the authors provide an overview of the status, challenges, architectures, and technological solutions for core and metropolitan networks. Furthermore, the book describes the current state of core and metropolitan telecommunication networks, as well as the drivers and motives behind the current paradigm shift in the telecommunications industry. Moreover, the authors elaborate system design guidelines for both point-to-point and multi-hop optical networks taking into consideration the analogue nature of the transmission channel.
Key Features:
Provides coverage of all aspects of core and metro networks supporting future broadband services, and a detailed description of the state-of-the-art
Presents a clear path for migrating from point-to-point to data-centric, dynamic, multi-hop optical networks
Shows how current systems will need to evolve over the coming years, summarizing challenges and issues to be investigated in future research
Covers a wide range of topics from network architectures, to control plane, to key optical and optoelectronic devices, and best practice in transmission and system design
Provides results, best practices and guidelines for various technical problems, including numerous hands-on examples
Written by authors from cutting-edge companies such as Alcatel-Lucent, Siemens, Lucent, France Telecom, BT, and Telefonica
Optical Core and Metro Networks will be of interest to researchers in industry and academia, and advanced (final year undergraduate) and postgraduate students undertaking communications, networking and optics courses.
