Advances in the management and control of optical Internet
Given the ever increasing demand for network bandwidth, and the recent phenomenal advances in optical wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) networking technologies, a major component of the Next Generation Internet will be an Internat protocol (IP)-based optical WDM network. As IP over WDM networking technologies mature, a number of important architectural, management and control issues have s...
متن کاملGuest editorial WDM-based network architectures
R ECENT developments in wavelength division multi-plexing (WDM) technology have led to a tremendous amount of commercial and research interest in WDM-based networks. Until recently, WDM has been used primarily for point-to-point long haul transmission. However, with the emergence of WDM networking components, people are beginning to design and deploy WDM-based networks that take advantage of th...

The objective of the paper is to describe a hierarchical network architecture based on all-optical Wavelength Division Multiplexed (WDM) networks extended (for longer distances) through Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) networks. The local subnetworks are designed as alloptical WDM networks that require tunable components and a media access protocol. These networks will be designed to efficientl...

Optical wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) networking technology has been identified as a suitable candidate for future wide area network (WAN) environments, due to its potential ability to meet rising demands of high bandwidth and low latency communication. Networking protocols and algorithms are being developed to meet the changing operational requirements in future optical WANs (OWAN). S...
متن کاملMulti-channel Medium Access Control Protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks: A Survey
Extensive researches on Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have been performed and many techniques have been developed for the data link (MAC) layer. Most of them assume single-channel MAC protocols. In the usual dense deployment of the sensor networks, single-channel MAC protocols may be deficient because of radio collisions and limited bandwidth. Hence, using multiple channels can significantly ...
