The first time-wavelength assignment algorithm for wavelength division multiplexing (WDM)
star-based local and metropolitan area networks is presented. The algorithm incorporates …

This paper examines the wavelength assignment problem for single, dual, and
multimessage multicasting over a star network with optical switching between fibers along …

A simple nation-wide core network architecture based on the optimized combination of WDM
and OTDM technologies in a two-tier structure network is proposed. The dynamic timeslot …

Wavelength routing for all-optical networks using wavelength-division multiple access
(WDMA) has received increasing attention. 1-In a wavelength-routing network, wavelength …

In this paper, we devise a preallocation-based single-hop wavelength division multiple
access (WDMA) scheme to support temporal quality of service (QoS) in star-coupled optical …

We propose a novel AWG-star network with dynamically reconfigurable wavelength paths
via node-side control. We demonstrate that transmission capacity between the …

The impact of the wavelength-tunable device switching latency on the performance of media
access protocols for star-coupled wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) photonic …

A collisionless wavelength-division multiple-access (WDMA) protocol for a passive star-
coupled photonic network is introduced and shown to possess significant performance and …

We consider the problem of routing and assignment of wavelength (RAW) in optical
networks. Given a set of requests for all-optical connections (or lightpaths), the problem is to …

The authors propose the use of multiple wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) passive
stars as the physical interconnection for local or metropolitan area networks. This new …
