An Arrangement of Channels and Transceivers in Optical Packet Switching Networks

Based on a media access and control（MAC）protocol,an arrangement of channels and transceivers in optical packet switching dense wavelength division multiplexing（DWDM）networks is proposed in this paper.In order to reduce the cost of nodes,fixed transmitters and receivers are used instead of tunable transmitters and receivers.Two fixed transmitters and many fixed receivers are used in each node in the scheme.The average waiting delay of this scheme is analyzed through mathematics and computer simulation.The result shows that the property of the scheme is almost the same as using tunable transmitter and receiver.Furthermore,if the tuning time of tunable transmitters is taken into account,the performance of the tunable transmitter scheme is poor than this scheme at the average waiting delay and throughput of the network.     

Buffer analysis with finite number of tunable receivers in WDM passive star networks

This study develops a performance model as an expansion of the receiver collision analysis presented in [I.E. Pountourakis, Performance evaluation with receiver collisions analysis in very high-speed optical fiber local area networks using passive star topology, J. Lightwave Technol. 16 (12) (1998) 2303–2310] for WDM networks. By theoretical analysis we estimate the receiver collision phenomenon and evaluate the performance measures and the rejection probability at destination for finite number of tunable receivers. Receiver collision analysis makes the performance behavior more realistic and expands the original analysis.

Probabilistic Analysis of Cyclic Packet Transmission Scheduling in WDM Optical Networks

We study the packet transmission scheduling problem with tuning delay in wavelength-division multiplexed (WDM) optical communication networks with tunable transmitters and fixed-tuned receivers. By treating the numbers of packets as random variables, we conduct probabilistic analysis of the average-case performance ratio for the cyclic packet transmission scheduling algorithm. Our numerical data as well as simulation results demonstrate that the average-case performance ratio of cyclic schedules is very close to one for reasonable system configurations and probability distributions of the numbers of packets. In particular, when the number of receivers that share a channel and/or the granularity of packet transmission are large, the average-case performance ratio approaches one. Better performance can be achieved by overlapping tuning delays with packet transmission. We derive a bound for the normalized tuning delay Δ such that tuning delay can be completely masked with high probability. Our study implies that by using currently available tunable optical transceivers, it is possible to build single-hop WDM networks that efficiently utilize all the wavelengths.     

Performance analysis of an optical CDMA MAC protocol with variable-size sliding window

A media access control protocol for optical code-division multiple-access packet networks with variable length data traffic is proposed. This protocol exhibits a sliding window with variable size. A model for interference-level fluctuation and an accurate analysis for channel usage are presented. Both multiple-access interference (MAI) and photodetector's shot noise are considered. Both chip-level and correlation receivers are adopted. The system performance is evaluated using a traditional average system throughput and average delay. Finally, in order to enhance the overall performance, error control codes (ECCs) are applied. The results indicate that the performance can be enhanced to reach its peak using the ECC with an optimum number of correctable errors. Furthermore, chip-level receivers are shown to give much higher performance than that of correlation receivers. Also, it has been shown that MAI is the main source of signal degradation.

SUCCESS: a next-generation hybrid WDM/TDM optical access network architecture

In this paper, the authors propose a next-generation hybrid WDM/TDM optical access network architecture called Stanford University aCCESS or SUCCESS. This architecture provides practical migration steps from current-generation time-division multiplexing (TDM)-passive optical network (PONs) to future WDM optical access networks. The architecture is backward compatible for users on existing TDM-PONs, while simultaneously capable of providing upgraded high-bandwidth services to new users on DWDM-PONs through advanced WDM techniques. The SUCCESS architecture is based on a collector ring and several distribution stars connecting the CO and the users. A semipassive configuration of the Remote Nodes (RNs) enables protection and restoration, making the network resilient to power failures. A novel design of the OLT and DWDM-PON ONUs minimizes the system cost considerably: 1) tunable lasers and receivers at the OLT are shared by all ONUs on the network to reduce the transceiver count and 2) the fast tunable lasers not only generate downstream data traffic but also provide DWDM-PON ONUs with optical CW bursts for their upstream data transmission. Results from an experimental system testbed support the feasibility of the proposed SUCCESS architecture. Also, simulation results of the first SUCCESS DWDM-PON MAC protocol verify that it can efficiently provide bidirectional transmission between the OLT and ONUs over multiple wavelengths with a small number of tunable transmitters and receivers.

Scalable reliable multicast using multiple multicast channels

We examine an approach for providing reliable, scalable multicast communication, involving the use of multiple multicast channels for reducing receiver processing costs and reducing network bandwidth consumption in a multicast session. In this approach a single multicast channel is used for the original transmission of packets. Retransmissions of packets are done on separate multicast channels, which receivers dynamically join and leave. We first show that protocols using an infinite number of multicast channels incur much less processing overhead at the receivers compared to protocols that use only a single multicast channel. This is due to the fact that receivers do not receive retransmissions of packets they have already received correctly. Next, we derive the number of unwanted redundant packets at a receiver due to using only a finite number of multicast channels, for a specific negative acknowledgment (NAK)-based protocol. We then explore the minimum number of multicast channels required to keep the cost of processing unwanted packets to a sufficiently low value. For an application consisting of a single sender transmitting reliably to many receivers we find that only a small number of multicast channels are required for a wide range of system parameters. In the case of an application where all participants simultaneously act as both senders and receivers a moderate number of multicast channels is needed. Finally, we present two mechanisms for implementing multiple multicast channels, one using multiple IP multicast groups and the other using additional router support for selective packet forwarding. We discuss the impact of both mechanisms on performance in terms of end-host and network resources

A digital fountain approach to asynchronous reliable multicast

The proliferation of applications that must reliably distribute large, rich content to a vast number of autonomous receivers motivates the design of new multicast and broadcast protocols. We describe an ideal, fully scalable protocol for these applications that we call a digital fountain. A digital fountain allows any number of heterogeneous receivers to acquire content with optimal efficiency at times of their choosing. Moreover, no feedback channels are needed to ensure reliable delivery, even in the face of high loss rates. We develop a protocol that closely approximates a digital fountain using two new classes of erasure codes that for large block sizes are orders of magnitude faster than standard erasure codes. We provide performance measurements that demonstrate the feasibility of our approach and discuss the design, implementation, and performance of an experimental system.     

Turbo Coding with Equalization in WCDMA Downlink

In this paper, the performance of turbo coding in WCDMA downlink is considered in conjunction with receivers using two adaptive channel equalizers. Bit error and frame error rates are compared to the performance of the conventional Rake receiver. Special consideration is given to the cases with two receive antennas, the efficiency of the channel interleaver, the number of iterations in decoding, the performance with various numbers of users, the influence of mobile receiver velocity as well as to the effect of power control. The simulation results show that turbo coding, combined with power control and channel equalizers is a very efficient way to implement reliable data transmissions in WCDMA downlink. The results in the paper also verify that the adaptive channel equalizers is a very promising technique to improve the receiver performance and increase the user capacity.     

Synchronous Wavelength Reusing/Sharing Protocols for Nonregenerative WDM Dual Buses

The dual-bus optical network with nonregenerative stations has become popular. In general, the nonregenerative station implementation is better than the regenerative station implementation in media access control delay, cost, and susceptibility of station failures, etc. In this paper, two novel cycle-based protocols, named as synchronous wavelength sharing protocol (SWSP) and synchronous wavelength reusing/sharing protocol (SWRP), are proposed for nonregenerative wavelength-division-multiplexing dual-bus networks. The simulation results show that the network throughput and delay of SWRP are better than those of SWSP, when the numbers of wavelengths and tunable receivers are both limited, and/or the network traffic load is heavy.     

Modeling and analysis of TCP-like multicast congestion control in hybrid terrestrial/satellite IP networks

Given their broadcast nature, satellite communications are one natural engineering choice for multicast service deployment. In this paper, the throughput performance of transmission control protocol (TCP)-like multicast congestion control is analyzed in hybrid terrestrial/satellite networks. With this objective, an analytical framework based on Markov chains is introduced. The major advantage of the proposed analytical model is its scalability in that the number of states of the Markov chain modeling the system is independent of the number of receivers in the multicast session. This is a very important feature as simulation is unfeasible for large numbers of receivers. The framework is used to evaluate the impact of the long propagation delays, high bit-error rates, and channel asymmetry characterizing hybrid terrestrial/satellite communications. The performance results show that in certain cases, it is more convenient to divide the receivers in an appropriate number of groups and establish a different multicast session toward each of the above groups. Also, the convenience of an acknowledgment (ACK) flow reconstructor is shown.     

Performance analysis of b-bit digital receivers for TR-UWB systems with inter-pulse interference

An ultra-wideband (UWB) transmitted reference (TR) system transmits an un-modulated pulse and a delayed modulated pulse pair. Then, a correlation receiver uses the former to demodulate the latter. Because of the long spread of a typical UWB channel, time delay between the two pulses is preferable to be larger than the channel delay spread for reduced noise at the receiver. However, for bandwidth efficiency, that delay should be made small, resulting in inter-pulse interference at the receiver. In this paper, digital receivers are constructed for TR-UWB systems including inter-pulse interference. A typical mean matching technique, appropriate for both PPM and PAM schemes, is implemented digitally to obtain a good template for symbol detection. Joint estimation and detection performance of this family of digital receivers, using finite number of bits in analog-to-digital conversion and finite noisy observations, is analyzed. Closed form results are derived and verified by computer simulations. In addition, the effect of time offset between the reference pulse and information carrying pulse is studied. Overlap of the two pulses does not incur noticeable performance degradation. The proposed analytical framework can be applied to study detection performance of other related digital receivers not covered in this paper

Acoustooptic tunable filters in narrowband WDM networks: systemissues and network applications

The system issues and network applications of acoustooptic tunable filters (AOTFs) are discussed. AOTFs are thought to be attractive system components in dense wavelength-division multiplexed (WDM) networks because of their broad continuous electronic wavelength tunability and narrow filter bandwidth. Their unique multiwavelength filtering capability adds a greater dimension of flexibility to network design. The characteristics of the AOTF are reviewed from a system viewpoint and the performance and capabilities of bulk-devices, integrated-optic devices, and fiber-based devices are discussed and compared. Three network applications using the acoustooptic tunable filters are described. The first application is as wavelength-tunable receivers or taps for local users in a subscriber loop distribution network. The second is as multiwavelength tunable receivers in a broadcast local-area cross-connect for packet communication with very-high-throughput data rate. The third is as wavelength-selective space-division switch fabric for routing and cross-connect between central offices. Future prospects and various issues for future research are also discussed
