Non-Adaptive Fault Diagnosis for All-Optical Networks Via Combinatorial Group Testing on Graphs

Overview This paper considers the fault diagnosis problem in all-optical networks, focusing on probing schemes to detect faults. This paper work concentrates on non-adaptive probing schemes, in order to meet the stringent time requirements for fault recovery. This fault diagnosis problem motivates a new technical framework that the paper introduces: group testing with graph-based constraints. Using this framework, several new probing schemes are developed to detect network faults. The efficiency of these schemes often depends on the network topology; in many cases it shows that these schemes are near-optimal by providing tight lower bounds.
