A Visualization Based Analysis on Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation Algorithms for Optical Networks

Abstract

This paper presents the bibliometric analysis of Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation (DBA) algorithms in the telecommunication field using CiteSpace and Web of Science (WoS) analysis for the period of decade (2009-2018). The publication count and citation counts in the last five years have significantly increased reflecting this as active research. The visualization results identified the most influential DBA algorithms centered on 1) EPON technology addressing DBAs meeting QoS requirement (68 counts), 2) DBAs for Elastic Optical Networks (58 counts) and (3 DBAs for long reach PON (54 counts). Assi CM and Kramer G are the leading contributors and Plos One and Journal of optical communication and networking are proffered Journals. The correlation between the research contribution and expenditures countries do is 0.945. Wherein, China in countries and Beijing university of Posts and Telecommunications among research institutes contribute the most in the DBA PON research across the world.
