Optical Packet Switching (OPS) technologies are among the most promising solutions for Next Generation Networks. In OPS networks, several mechanisms for Quality of Service (QoS) management have been developed. In this paper, we address QoS and fairness issues in a novel OPS ring architecture with a slotted synchronous transmission. The MAC protocol in the studied architecture is similar to CSMA/CA. Each node may use the available bandwidth in an opportunist manner. Therefore, the chances for each node to find available transmission resources are tightly correlated to the matrix of traffic at the other nodes. In order to remedy this problem, we elaborate two improved access mechanisms with preemptive approaches: Packet Erasing Mechanism (PEM) and Extraction and Reemission Mechanism (ERM). We evaluate the performance of the proposed mechanisms using a discrete-time analytical model. Finally, the results obtained by our model are validated and analyzed through several simulation scenarios.
