A Column-Generation and Branch-and-Cut Approach to the Bandwidth-Packing Problem

Tags:
bandwidth issues

Overview The bandwidth-packing problem is a combinatorial optimization problem arising from telecommunication networks where demand exceeds capacity and where point-to-point calls with varying bandwidths are routed on this network such that each call uses a single path. These problems occur within ATM technology and when video data is routed. It belongs to the broad class of multi-commodity flow problems that are commonly associated with communication, computer, transportation, and distribution network applications. Calls between pairs of nodes define the commodities, and links connecting nodes represent transmission lines in the telecomm network.

Radioactive: Taipei gets meshed up

Like the internet, any-to-any connectivity ensures traffic is diversely routed over the optimum path. For fixed networks to have any-to-any connectivity they need a direct connection with multiple other nodes on a network.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
