Multicast Space-Conversion-Space Strict-Sense Nonblocking Switching Fabrics with Multicast Opportunity in the Last Stage for Continuous Multislot Connections
Grzegorz Danilewicz
Abstract:This paper introduces two nonblocking switching fabric architectures designed for multicast connections. These connections are defined using the multislot connection approach, mainly applied in elastic optical networks. In contrast to earlier solutions, this approach assumes that multislot connections are consistently established in adjacent continuous slots. This implies that previously established solutions could not be applied. Our study presents a comprehensive theoretical framework applicable to the gener… Show more
