Abstract

Previous works have proposed analytical models of TDM wavelength networks to evaluate the blocking performance, but they differ in their underlying assumptions and have varying computation complexities. In this paper, we propose an analytical model of TDM WDM optical networks with optical time-slot interchangers and without wavelength converter for minimum fixed hop routing. In order to make the analysis tractable, we propose a schema that work for any number of partition patterns regardless of numbers of links, wavelengths in each link, and time-slots in each wavelength. Our analytical model provides good accuracies in individual routes and average network blocking probability when compared with the simulation results.
