The mobile nodes are independent and have distributed control. Modeling of ad hoc network is a critical task, which includes modeling of mobile behavior of nodes as well as behavior of wireless links. The mesh connected queuing network can be a good tool to model ad hoc network. In this work we are proposing a novel approach of modeling ad hoc network as a queuing network. The current state of art in modeling mobility in an ad hoc network consists of selecting a velocity and direction for a node and deriving an analytical model based on these parameters. This approach lacks the concept of path and link availability. In our novel approach, data taken from the various mobility scenarios through simulations are used to find out an appropriate distribution that gives connectivity between two nodes. The available and unavailable duration distributions obtained from AdHocSim are incorporated into queuing network. The effect of velocity, area and pause time on link availability are studied and presented. We simulated queuing network in OMNet++.

Many investigations are carried to mitigate these effects and in multi channel systems, four-wave mixing (FWM) in optical fibers induces channel crosstalk and possibly degrades system performance. An optical orthogonal code is a family of (0,1) sequences with good auto and cross correlation properties The use of optical orthogonal codes enables a large number of asynchronous users to transmit information efficiently and reliably. This paper examines the fiber optic code division multiple access technique and proposes an alternative frequency assignment scheme to suppress the FWM crosstalk by allocating frequencies to a set of unevenly spaced channels determined by an optical spreading code.

Ad hoc network is a collection of wireless, mobile, dynamic, and arbitrarily located nodes. The nodes cooperate with each other to create an infra structure less temporary low cost network. The high mobility of nodes result in rapid changes in the routes, thus requiring some mechanism for determining new routes with minimum overheads and bandwidth consumption. Such infrastructure less networks use multicast routing protocols to manage random and uncertain events like rescue missions, disaster recovery, crowd control etc. The existing multicast routing protocols suffer from many drawbacks (K. Obraczka and G, Tsufik, 1998) (Ching-Chuan Chiang et al., 1997).

An algorithm called total wavelengths and expected available wavelengths (TEW) proposed by Pavarangkoon et. al. in order to achieve effective routing and wavelength assignment formulates a link weight function and considers this as the main factor for route selection. This function is calculated by using a determination factor of the number of wavelengths that are being used currently and are supposed to be available after a certain time. However, this algorithm tends to overload paths with smaller weights and higher utilization while lightly loaded paths with slightly lower capacities may remain unused. In this paper, we have proposed an improvement to the TEW algorithm by incorporating the frequency of usage of the paths in the weight function and running Dijkstra's shortest path algorithm to choose paths that have more total and expected available wavelengths and less frequency of usage. The proposed algorithm is called as countered total wavelengths and expected available wavelengths (CTEW) algorithm. The impact of the proposed algorithm on blocking probability is investigated by means of computer simulation and by comparing it with TEW algorithm.

With increase of bandwidth requirement nowadays, subscribers using xDSL are changing to adopt FTTH service at a high rate for bandwidth-rich applications, such as on-line games, video-on-demand, long-distance education, or other real-time streaming reception. There are several main FTTH infrastructures, all of which are based on passive optical networks (PON) or with active nodes. And it is attractive to adopt PON architectures because there is no power consumption between optical line terminal (OLT) and the optical network units (ONU). However, in the upstream direction (from ONUs to the OLT), all ONUs using the same photonic wavelength (share the same frequency channel) need a mechanism to coordinate their transmission. In order to speed up traffic flow and upgrade the quality of service in the connections, we propose a multi-homing scheme to bundle an association to end users.
