ABSTRACT A key issue in the Agile All-Photonic Networks is the centralized scheduling
method and the coordination between edge nodes and the core switching node. The focus …

The internal switches in all-photonic networks do not perform data conversion into the
electronic domain, thereby eliminating a potential capacity bottleneck, but the inability to …

The term" agility" in optical networks describes the ability to deploy bandwidth on demand at
fine granularity that allows carriers to provision and deploy services rapidly. An overlaid star …

Schedulers in optical switches are still electronic, the performance of these units has a
significant impact on the performance of the network and could form a bottleneck in high …

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 …

The Agile All Photonic Network (AAPN) is a high speed transparent agile optical transport
network. A key issue in these all photonic networks is the distributed scheduling method …

This paper presents a simple and efficient algorithm for timeslot allocation in agile all-
photonic network (AAPN) cores working under a time division multiplexing (TDM) mode …

An optical overlaid star network is a class of agile all-photonic networks that consists of one
or more core node (s) at the center of the star network and a number of edge nodes around …

This thesis describes a framework for bandwidth allocation and scheduling in the Agile All-
Photonic Network (AAPN). This framework is also applicable to any single-hop …

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 …
