An access protocol for high-speed optical LANs
Pages 287 - 293
Abstract
In this paper a multiple access protocol is proposed for a system consisting of many high-speed bursty traffic stations via an optical passive star coupler. Each user has access over a range of wavelengths, thus resulting in a wavelength division multiplexed communication. A station has to reserve a wavelength first then transmits the data on that wavelength. The performance has been modeled and analyzed with the Equilibrium Point Analysis (EPA) technique. Numerical results show that the low delay and high throughput (larger than the electronic speed of a single user) can be achieved. The analysis also shows that the best performance is obtained when the capacities of the reservation channels and the data channels are balanced.
