“…This item is related to the well-known a-parameter [2], which is de®ned as the ratio of the propagation delay and the packet transmission time itself. As a rule, network throughput degrades with increasing this ratio.…”

“…In this study, it is assumed that optical ®ber is the basic transmission medium and Gbit/s the basic rate. To be a large-scale network, the condition of rich space diversity is necessary [1,2]. For example, a remarkable network presented in the literature is grid network, e.g., the Manhattan Street Network (MS_Net) [11,12].…”

“…It is composed of a number of local rings, which are in term connected by a backbone ring with bridges. Based on slotted and buer insertion access mechanisms [2], it has the advantages of simple routing and straightforward media access. Particularly, its topology has the property of self-similarity, i.e., ring connecting ring, and thus has the potentiality extending to multiple- are brie¯y sketched in the next section.…”

“…The latter version, namely, CRMA-II, was the enhancement of CRMA for bus and ring topologies and had been shown to be rather e cient in comparison with other MAC protocols for highspeed LANs and MANs [1,8,14,16]. Remarkably, these protocols satisfy fairness requirements [2,6] so that the properties of high network throughput and low response time are sustained under heavy network loads. Comparing with the above two protocols, CRMA-HR is more complex.…”

In this paper, a large-scale Gbit/s metropolitan area network (MAN) based on hierarchical ring topologies has been investigated. The network is constituted by backbone and local rings, which are connected by bridges. In the network, tra c congestion may occur in bridges due to the mismatch of transmission speed between backbone and local rings. To cope with the issue, a scheme based on a cyclic reservation-based access method is proposed for the medium access control (MAC) protocol of the network. With the scheme, the protocol can both achieve the fair access of network bandwidth and resolve the tra c congestion in bridges. Particularly, this approach reduces the implementation complexity and cost and enhances e ciency of the global network. Finally, several simulative experiments are performed, and some optimistic results are revealed. Ó 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

“…Numerous network concepts, which can be classified in single-hop and multi-hop systems [17,18], have been proposed since then. A large part of the proposals considered star based networks which are supposed to be mainly applied as local or metropolitan area networks (LANs, MANs) with higher transmission rates than today [24]. But there were also suggestions to build wide area telecommunication networks using star networks (for example in [8]).…”

Photonic telecommunication networks gain increasing importance in various fields extending from access to wide area networks. Due to limitations of fast all-optical switching technology, many promising concepts are based on circuit switching. In this paper, we propose a new and simple star topology using fixed wavelength assignment and a combination of wavelength and time division multiplexing. Owing to the fixed assignment, no tunable components or wavelength converters are needed in the central star element. For this system architecture, we present a performance evaluation based on a probabilistic method to calculate call blocking probabilities, which is validated by simula-. tion and compared to a rough approximation based on a simple loss system. The results allow to evaluate the trade-off between capacity increase either by additional wavelengths or additional time slots in the system.
