Abstract :
A novel wavelength assignment algorithm based on the method of optimal grouping of non-overlapping connections is proposed for a linear array network. A tight bound on the minimum number of wavelengths required to support all-to-all broadcast is derived for the linear array under the presence and absence of wavelength conversion facilities.
