Latest Patents

The provided information lists one patent for Cvijectic: Centralized Resource Management in Wavelength Selective Switch Based Wavelength Cross Connect Systems. The invention describes a centralized resource management system that allows transponders in a wavelength cross-connect node to be shared. A spare transponder can be reconfigured to serve a drop channel regardless of its wavelength or input port.

This approach supports network restoration after failures and reconfiguration in response to changing traffic demands. The patent also describes three transponder-management schemes for wavelength-selective-switch-based nodes and algorithms for an optical-switchless centralized resource management solution. The listed patent count is 1 patent.

Career Highlights

Cvijectic’s listed work focuses on optical networking and the flexible use of transponders in wavelength-division-multiplexed networks. The invention applies to both conventional wavelength cross-connect nodes and nodes based on wavelength-selective switches.
