ABSTRACT:
In a communications network techniques are disclosed for optimizing node interconnection based upon the number of communications pathways to be provided by each of the nodes. For each node, the number of communications pathways to be provided by that node is represented in the form of a one-dimensional array. Image reconstruction techniques are applied to this one-dimensional array to generate a two-dimensional image. The one-dimensional array is used to generate vertical columns of the two-dimensional image, or alternatively, horizontal rows of the two-dimensional image. The two-dimensional image, comprised of a pixel array, is a mathematical representation of the communications network. Each pixel of the two-dimensional image represents a specific pair of nodes. Each pixel has a gray-scale value that signifies the number of communications pathways that are to be provided between this specific pair of nodes. The image reconstruction technique may, but need not, consist of a generally known method such as, for example, filtered back projection, convolution back projection, algebraic reconstruction, or maximum likelihood reconstruction.
