Optimizing Optical Fiber Path in Wavelength Division Multiplexing Networks Using Particle Swarm Optimization

Abstract

In this paper, we explore the application of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) to maximize the performance of Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) networks by optimizing optical fiber paths. Through rigorous evaluation metrics such as Data Transmission Speed Analysis and Congestion Reduction Assessment across ten trials, our findings reveal consistent and meaningful improvements. PSO effectively enhances data transfer speeds, resulting to more efficient network performance. Moreover, the approach reliably minimizes congestion levels, decreasing a significant challenge in WDM networks. These results highlight PSO's adaptability and reliability in solving challenging optimization challenges in optical communication. The practical application of PSO reveals its promise as a revolutionary tool for attaining higher data transfer speeds and network reliability, providing the basis for future breakthroughs in the optimization of communication networks.
