A semi-analytical method based on alternate projections on a linear vector space is used to
construct a service matrix from a traffic matrix, where the traffic matrix represents the …

The design of a wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) passive star network must address
the following limitations of the optical hardware technologies: a limited number of …

We show how to use the wavelength division multiple access capabilities of passive optical
star networks for efficiently implementing communication operations that are widely used in …

In this paper, we focus on the performance of asynchronous carrier sense multiple access
with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) protocol with variable packet sizes. We examine the …

Network topology significantly affects the system performance of local area networks. The
bus topology was considered for optical local area networks since the degradation of system …

Different physical aspects that should be taken into consideration when transmitting packets
in a slotted star network using wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) are discussed. It is …

The scheme of advance reservations in dynamically provisioned optical networks is novel,
and there are no grid-based applications designed to utilize this scheme. We formally define …

Statistical multiplexing at the optical layer has been considered a critical requirement in
order to build the next generation of ultra-high capacity optical transport networks in a cost …

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 …

Next generation applications and architectures (for example, Grids) are driving radical
changes in the nature of traffic, service models, technology, and cost, creating opportunities …
