The burst dropping ratio is witnessed in the contemporary literature as a considerable
constraint of optical burst switching (OBS) networks that attained many researchers' efforts in …

In this paper, we propose and evaluate two schemes for improving bandwidth utilization in
optical burst-switched (OBS) networks employing timer-based burst assembly routines. The …

Fairness is an important feature of communication networks. It is the distribution, allocation,
and provision of approximately equal or equal performance parameters, such as throughput …

The negative impact of cascaded wavelength conversions has been largely ignored in
optical burst switching performance evaluations. When optical bursts are transmitted all …

Using various offset times to separate differential services is the most common form of
service differentiation in optical burst switching networks. In this approach, a larger offset …

Innovations in optical communication are expected to transform the landscape of global
communications, internet and datacenter networks. This dissertation investigates several …

Unfairness is a known undesirable characteristic of OBS networks whereby data flows which
traverse longer routes and/or bottleneck links suffer higher data loss. The solutions to this …

We introduce a new preemptive scheduling technique for next-generation optical burst
switching (OBS) networks considering the impact of cascaded wavelength conversions. It …

Optical networking, employing wavelength division multiplexing (WDM), is seen as the
technology of the future for the Internet. This dissertation investigates several important …
