The next generation metro network is most likely to be based on high-capacity agile all-
optical networks. We consider a metro network architecture that consists of a number of …

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 …

In this paper, we comparatively evaluate two photonic packet switch architectures with WDM-
FDL buffers for synchronized variable length packets. The first one is an output buffer type …

As one of the most promising next generation optical access network (OAN), flexible time
and wavelength division multiplexing (TWDM) OAN can increase capacity smoothly and …

In this paper, based on the concept of wavelength reusing, a new architecture for
interconnecting two wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) star networks is proposed …

We present the design and analysis of an Agile All-Photonic Network (AAPN); in the context
of our study, the agility is derived from sub-microsecond photonic switching and global …

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 …

In an all-optical wide area network, some network nodes may handle heavier volumes of
traffic. It is desirable to allocate more full-range wavelength converters (FWCs) to these …

SUMMARY A major challenge in packet‐based optical networks is packet contention, which
occurs when two or more packets are heading to the same output at the same time. To …

In this work, we study dynamic provisioning of multicast sessions in a wavelength-routed
sparse splitting capable WDM network with an arbitrary mesh topology where the network …
