Unavoidable Constraints and Collision Avoidance Techniques in Performance Evaluation of Asynchronous Transmission WDMA Protocols

This study extends the analysis in [1] where the effect of the round trip propagation delay on performance measures of an Asynchronous Transmission WDMA protocol is examined for infinite population and Poisson arrivals. An other attribute, associated with the WDM networks, that affects their behaviour is the receiver collision phenomenon. Especially this paper examines the influence on throughput and total delay measures of the transmitted information as function of the propagation delay latency and the receiver collision phenomenon characteristics [2]. So this presentation accomplishes the analysis for a complete study and a substantial examination of the real performance behaviour of the optical Passive Star WDM networks.
