“…Obviously, S is related to the tunable range. Due to existing and emerging tunable receiver technologies do not provide the wide tuning range and rapid tunability [20] and considering the cost and performance, we take F=2,S=1 as our final decision. Most previous work takes the whole shared wavelengths as a set of wavelengths to be selected in dynamic wavelength assignment algorithm.…”

Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) passive optical network represents the most promising solution for future access networks. Wavelength sharing is an important issue in DWDM based optical access networks(OAN), since it can maximize the resource utilization and in return reduce the cost of the system. In this paper we propose a neighborsharing dynamic wavelength assignment algorithm for a DWDM-based virtual start optical network. The wavelength assignment algorithm is realized through a centralized scheduler, which is at central office. When the scheduler receives the request, it assigns a wavelength to the corresponding premise according to the algorithm. Two level scheduling scheme of control signal is proposed. The evaluation and analysis of the performance of the wavelength assignment algorithm are conducted by using computer simulations and are presented at the end of this paper.

“…For interconnecting such WDM rings in an efficient and cost-effective way, the AWG was used as a passive wavelength-routing hub in [32]. General design principles and architectures for networks based on AWGs are studied in [33]- [38]. On-line scheduling algorithms for an AWG-based network with static wavelength assignment and static time-division multiple access, which is fundamentally different from the on-demand reservations in our network, are studied in [39].…”

Abstract-Metro wavelength-division multiplexed (WDM) networks play an important role in the emerging Internet hierarchy; they interconnect the backbone WDM networks and the local-access networks. The current circuit-switched SONET/synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH)-over-WDM-ring metro networks are expected to become a serious bottleneck-the so-called metro gap-as they are faced with an increasing amount of bursty packet data traffic and quickly increasing bandwidths in the backbone networks and access networks. Innovative metro WDM networks that are highly efficient and able to handle variable-size packets are needed to alleviate the metro gap. In this paper, we study an arrayed-waveguide grating (AWG)-based single-hop WDM metro network. We analyze the photonic switching of variable-size packets with spatial wavelength reuse. We derive computationally efficient and accurate expressions for the network throughput and delay. Our extensive numerical investigations-based on our analytical results and simulations-reveal that spatial wavelength reuse is crucial for efficient photonic packet switching. In typical scenarios, spatial wavelength reuse increases the throughput by 60% while reducing the delay by 40%. Also, the throughput of our AWG-based network with spatial wavelength reuse is roughly 70% larger than the throughput of a comparable single-hop WDM network based on a passive star coupler (PSC).Index Terms-Arrayed-waveguide grating (AWG), medium access control, metro wavelength-division multiplexed (WDM) network, multiple free spectral ranges, passive star coupler (PSC), photonic packet switching, spatial wavelength reuse.
