This paper raises the issues faced in edge node design for an agile all-photonic network
(AAPN) and proposes solutions. The architecture discussed addresses several issues such …

Increasing volume, dynamism, and diversity of access traffic have complicated the
challenging problem of dynamic resource allocation in passive optical networks. We …

We investigate a load-balancing method in a time division multiplexed agile all-photonic
network (AAPN), which has a star topology and a buffeHess optical core. This method for …

Efficient utilization of available bandwidth over hybrid optical wireless networks is a critical
issue, especially for multimedia applications with high data rates and stringent Quality of …

Fixed and mobile communications will continue to converge coming years. Amongst other,
this is also a goal of the Next Generation Networking initiative adopted by The International …

The use of passive optical networks (PONs) enables access rates of multi-Gbit/sec
bandwidth and provision of quality of service for high definition multimedia services. In this …

In this work, we conduct a throughput-cost study of several optical network architectures:
optical flow switching (OFS), tell-and-go (TaG), electronic packet switching (EPS), and …

In this paper, quality-of-service (QoS) routing and service-specific functions in optical
networks are proposed. We first present two QoS-routing algorithms, which differ in the way …

The internal switches in all-photonic networks do not perform data conversion into the
electronic domain. Although this removal of OEO conversion eliminates a potential capacity …

This paper introduces an approach to solving the fundamental scalability problem of all-
optical packet switching wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) access networks. Current …
