Abstract

A new network architecture which uses several wavelengths as control channels for coordination of packet transmissions on the data channels for single-hop WDMA networks and passive star topology is introduced in this paper. The control informations are distributed over the total control channels reducing the electronic processing bottleneck at one of end stations. Time is divided into fixed size cycles. The proposed schemes adopt the slotted ALOHA protocol for the access to control and data multichannel systems and differ in the adopted policy for data packet transmission . Analytic model is developed and analyzed for performance measures evaluation based on Poisson approximations statistics and infinite population. Also numerical results are discussed for various number of control and data channels.
