Abstract

This paper presents a multichannel optical ring network for broadband integrated services. The network uses a multichannel architecture with wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) and photonic packet switching devices for its access mechanism. The electronic speed bottleneck is removed out of the ring, which allows utilization of the full bandwidth for the optical fiber transmission medium. For compatibility with B-ISDN, the network uses a similar cell structure to that of an ATM based cell with a slotted ring concept. Fiber optic delay line matched filters are used as a means of address detection at the destination nodes. The network architecture is described and a design of the optical switching node is presented. A novel technique is devised in order to measure the average transfer delay of a cell in the multichannel slotted ring network. The analytical results show an excellent agreement with simulation results over a broad range of parameters. The results show that the major part of the cell transfer delay is coming from the propagation delay from a source to a destination. It is also observed that the throughput characteristic of the network depends upon the aggregated transmission capacity of the network.

Optimum performance and analysis of RingO networks
2009, Optik
In this paper, the RingO (ring optical network) comprising of various nodes has been demonstrated, and the signal is analyzed as it passes through each node in the network. It has been shown that there is no appreciable signal degradation in the ring network. It is seen that the signal keeps on improving as it passes through the successive nodes. Also when the whole ring structure is iterated with the help of spans, then improvement in the signal is observed. It is also observed that there is no appreciable signal degradation till the length of the fiber is increased up to 250 km. The effect of increasing the input power is also studied further, and it is seen that it can support more number of users by increasing the signal input power. The optical spectrum of the signal is seen at every node, to have the assessment of the add and the drop frequencies in the ring.
A study of the length effect of fiber delay line based on CSMA/CP optical packet switching
2008, Information Sciences
This paper proposes a novel MAC (media access control) protocol named CSMA/CP for a metropolitan area network for the next generation Internet, which is an OPS (optical packet switch) network that all-optically and directly transfers IP packets over a WDM (wavelength division multiplexing) ring network. The proposed protocol uses the concepts of CSMA (carrier sense multiple access) and CP (carrier preemption) to all-optically transfer the IP packets of the nodes in the WDM ring networks. This paper studies the length effect of FDL (fiber delay line) in each node to support variable packet transmission, and develops an analytical model to analyze and simulate the packet delay and throughput.
A multiclass priority-based slotted-ring network for LAN-ATM interworking
1997, Computer Communications
Interworking LANs with an ATM backbone network is considered a cost-effective and most promising solution for bringing ATM into the mainstream. To sustain delay-sensitive applications (e.g., video or voice) and loss-sensitive applications (e.g., data transfer), this paper presents a slotted-ring network (SRN) with spatial reuse. In order to provide nonpreemptive multipriority services over SRN, a simple priority-based media access protocol, called the check requested before send (CRBS), is proposed. A dynamic priority assignment technique is described to assign priorities based on their delay and loss requirements. An analytical model is presented to analyze CRBS protocol under Poisson input traffic and uniform output traffic. Extensive simulations are run to assess the performance of CRBS protocol for two classes of cells with priorities 0 and 1.
A quantitative performance comparison study of all-optical slotted rings with different packet header speeds
1997, Computer Communications
For full utilization of the high transmission bandwidth of optical fiber, several optically transparent switching nodes have been proposed for use in photonic LANs, MANs or B-ISDN access networks. In the switching nodes, payload speed is transparent to optical speed while header speed remains at 155 Mbps or 622 Mbps for address processing by node control electronics. Another type of photonic packet switching node with optical signal processing for address detection supports higher header speed in packet transmission. In this paper, we analyze the performances of the optical ring networks which utilize the photonic packet switching nodes. A quantitative performance comparison study is carried out to observe the effect of header speed on the optical ring network performance.
