This paper addresses the issue of providing QoS services for Optical Burst Switching (OBS) systems. We propose a Linear Predictive Filter (LPF)-based Forward Resource Reservation method to reduce the burst delay at edge routers. An excessive reservation method is utilized to increase the successful forward reservation probability and to improve the delay reduction performance. We also discuss a...

In this paper, a novel implementation of 8x8 Multiplier using 4-2 Compressors is presented; which produces quick results, especially for use in Digital Signal Processors and in Microprocessors. This multiplier uses a new partial-product reduction format which consecutively reduces the maximum output delay. The new design of multiplier requires less number of MOSFET’s compared to Wallace Tree Mu...

This paper addresses the issue of providing QoS services for Optical Burst Switching (OBS) systems. We propose a Linear Predictive Filter (LPF)-based Forward Resource Reservation method to reduce the burst delay at edge routers. An aggressive reservation method is proposed to increase the successful forward reservation probability and to improve the delay reduction performance. We also discuss ...
