Autonomous Distributor Based on Controlled Switching Elements

摘要

In this paper we consider the autonomous distributor which employs the controlled switching element (CSE).We discuss how to generate external control input (ECI)values of the constituent CSEs to achieve the desired distribution function,proposing two generating methods.The first method relies on the active packet counter and ECI generator for ECI value generation,and the second method utilizes the intrinsic ECI generation property of the CSE-based reverse banyan network (RBN).The first method brings forth a flexible distributor structure,while the second method renders a very simple structure.In fact,the second method yields an autonomous distributor consisting only of a CSE-based RBN and a set of delays,which is perceived as the simplest among all available distributors.
