A star-topology local area network is designed to carry optical packet traffic, employing
collision-free switching. Data forwarding is under centralized control based on scheduled …

A network with N stations connected via a passive star coupler using wavelength division
multiplexing (WDM) is considered. Each station is equipped with a transmitter, transmitting at …

The goals and basic node configuration of STARNET, an optical broadband local area
network based on a physical passive star topology, are presented. Over a single physical …

This paper describes a framework for fixed-length frame scheduling in all-photonic networks
with large propagation delays. We introduce the Fair Matching Algorithm a novel scheduling …

This paper presents the design and dimensioning optimization of a novel optical network
structure, called the Petaweb, having a total capacity of several Pb/s (10 15 bit/s). Its …

This paper introduces a collisionless pre-allocation protocol and compares it to a
collisionless reservation protocol for WDM star-coupled photonic networks. A detailed …

STARNET is a broadband backbone optical wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) local
area network (LAN). Based on a physical passive star topology, STARNET offers all users …

In a multi-channel photonic dual bus network, each unidirectional bus contains a control
channel and several data channels (wavelengths), and each station has n tunable …

STARNET is an optical broadband network architecture based on a physical passive star
topology. Over a single physical network, STARNET offers all users both a moderate-speed …

We have proposed a novel star-ring optical regional network architecture with dynamic
wavelength/waveband broadcast and select based on bandwidth reservation. In this …
