Abstract

Optical burst switching (OBS) is a promising technology for next-generation optical networks. Slotted OBS is an improved version of OBS to reduce burst loss rate, in which wavelength channels are divided into time slots. Slotted OBS has an implicit and under-used property that resources for two bursts with the same source and the same destination are interchangeable. The property further means that resource for a long-distance burst can be partially used by a short-distance burst. In this paper, we utilize the property to design a resource reservation scheme for slotted OBS networks. The scheme reserves a batch of slots every time; the specific number of slots is calculated according to number of arrived bursts and partial success rate (a newly introduced conception in this paper) at each node. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can get lower burst loss rate, comparing with the well-performing two-way signaling scheme.
