In this work, we develop efficient mathematical planning methods to design communication networks. First, we examine future technologies for optical backbone networks. As new, more intelligent nodes cause higher dynamics in the transport networks, fast planning methods are required. To this end, we develop a heuristic planning algorithm. The evaluation of the cost-efficiency of new, adapative transmission techniques comprises the second topic of this section. In the second part of this work, we optimally plan and assess numerous protection methods with column-generation and branch-and-price. The former method forms also the foundation of an extensive planning method to determine optimal bounds on the connectivity of wireless mesh networks with beamforming antennas, which we develop in the last part of this work and employ it to assess existing distributed heuristics.
