New Multichannel Ethernet Protocol for Passive Optical Star Local Area Networks Using Coherent Transmission
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new optical local area network that combines dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) techniques and coherent transmission4,5 benefits is presented. A new multichannel protocol is specified based on Ethernet1, using WDM to carry multiple channels on a single fiber. The protocol is simulated to evaluate the performance under congestion conditions and to compare it with other protocols having the same total capacity. Some suggestions are made for congestion control in high-capacity networks and different channel-jumping strategies are proposed. A network architecture is proposed with tunable transmitters and multichannel receivers, and with a common local oscillator.

Forthcoming applications will need high guaranteed bandwidth and low bounded delay. This paper illustrates the advantage of distributing total capacity over several wavelengths with an appropriate protocol. Using the benefits of the multichannel capabilities, a new Ethernet protocol based on a Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) scheme is proposed. The major goals are to geographically exten...
متن کاملDesign and Analysis of an Asynchronous WDM Local Area Network Using a Master/Slave Scheduler
We describe an architecture and Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol for WDM networks. Our system is based on a broadcast star architecture and uses an unslotted access protocol and a centralized scheduler to efficiently provide bandwidth-on-demand in WDM networks. To overcome the effects of propagation delays the scheduler measures the delays between the terminals and the hub and takes that de...

متن کاملEnabling next Generation Ethernet Access with Ethernet Passive Optical Networks
This article describes Ethernet Passive Optical Networks (EPONs), an emerging local subscriber access architecture that combines low cost point-to-multipoint fiber infrastructure with Ethernet. EPONs are designed to carry Ethernet frames at standard Ethernet rates. EPONs use a single trunk fiber that extends from a central office to a passive optical splitter, which then fans out to multiple op...
