Design of a Medium Access Control Protocol for a wdma/tdma Photonic Ring Network

چکیده
|We present a new medium access control protocol for a photonic ring network based on a combination of wavelengthand time-division multiple access. The protocol can achieve a maximum throughput in excess of 90%, though simulations of this protocol show that it has a practical limit of around 70% throughput. By comparison, the alternative proposed protocol, slotted ALOHA, has a maximum throughput of around 36% { almost half that of our protocol.

Performance of a Medium Access Control Protocol for a WDMA/TDMA Photonic Ring Network
We present the results of computer simulation of a new medium access control (MAC) protocol for a photonic ring network based on a combination of wavelengthand time-division multiple access (WDMA/ TDMA). The simulations show that the proposed protocol offers maximum throughput in excess of 90% of total network capacity, although for delay-sensitive traffic it is necessary to limit the offered t...
متن کاملImplementation of medium access control for interconnecting slotted rings to form a WDM metropolitan area network
A system of slotted interconnected rings employing a combination of wavelength-division multiple access (WDMA) with time-division multiple access (TDMA) can serve a metropolitan area without electro-optical conversion and buffering of payload except at system entry points. The multiple rings overcome the power budget limitations of the single ring extending the reach of the system to even the l...
متن کاملPerformance Impact of Switching Latency on WDMA Protocols
This paper investigates the impact of fast wavelength tunable device switching latency on the performance of media access protocols for star-coupled wavelength-division multiplexed photonic networks. The relative impact with a reservation based protocol (TDMA-C) and two pre-allocation based protocols (I-TDMA* and I-SA) are compared. TDMA-C is control channel based, with one WDM channel allocate...
متن کاملPhotonic Architectures for Distributed Shared Memory Multiprocessors
This paper studies the interaction between the access protocol used to provide arbitration for a wavelengthdivision multiple access photonic network and the cache coherence protocol required to support a distributed shared memory environment. The architecture is based on wavelength division multiplexing which enables multiple multi-access channels to be realized on a single optical fiber. Large...
متن کاملEfficient Protocols for Multimedia Streams on WDMA Networks
This paper introduces a new approach to integrate different types of medium access control (MAC) protocols into a single wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) network system. The WDM network is based on a passive star coupler, and the purpose of integrating different MAC protocols is to efficiently accommodate various types of multimedia traffic streams with different characteristics and quali...
