This paper describes how Merit Based Scheduling (MBS) can be used to increase the
average throughput in an asynchronous bufferless Optical Packet Switched (OPS) network …

We propose a new burst scheduling mechanism for Optical Burst-Switched (OBS) networks.
The new approach is made possible by gathering data bursts into groups and performing …

In this paper, we introduce a new signalling architecture called Dual-header Optical Burst
Switching (DOBS) for next generation burst-switching optical networks. DOBS decouples the …

Optical burst switching (OBS) is a competitive solution for all-optical next-generation
networks. This paper describes a variation of OBS called time-synchronized optical burst …

This article reports on the design and the experimental realization of packet-switched optical
network (PSON) for a data center network. In PSON, an optical interconnect consists of a …

Optical burst switching (OBS) is one promising method for data transfer in photonic networks
based on a WDM (wavelength division multiplexing) technology. In the OBS scheme, the …

In this paper, we propose a protocol architecture and quality of service (QoS) supporting
algorithms for optical Internet based on optical burst switching (OBS) technology. Firstly, the …

This paper presents an overview of recent and current work being conducted in the “Agile All-
Photonic Networks”, AAPN, Research Network. An AAPN is a wavelength division …

We propose to improve the throughput performance of optical burst switching by using
regional controller nodes and window-based reservation. Both methods increase the …

We propose a scheduling algorithm for reducing unused timeslots by considering head gap
and tail gap newly generated by assigning a data burst in order to improve the burst loss …
