Disaster survivability for optical fiber networks

Abstract

The project proposes on developing a simulation tool for studying the impact of circular based disasters towards an optical network topology. The main contribution of the proposed method is to provide important input to the development of network topology to support the efforts to mitigate the effects of regional disasters. The problem is solved by using Waxman random graph for representing the connectivity of optical fibers on a rectangular plane and model probable circular disaster for representing as disaster events. A comprehensive verification using MATLAB is carried out to model the network topology and circular based disaster. In particular, the availability of each optical network is computed by using mathematical formula for quantifying the impact of the disaster events to the network as the outcome of this project.
