Improved Dynamic Protocol for Variable-Sized Messages in a WDM-Based Local Network with Nonzero Tuning Time

摘要

An improved dynamic protocol for variable- sized messages is proposed in WDM-based local network, when nodal transceiver has nonzero tuning time. With the protocol, data channel is assigned dynamically. However, once a node re- serves one data channel, it can persistently use the reserved chan- nel till message transmission is finished. The protocol is analyzed with a finite population model and the throughput-delay charac- teristics are investigated as performance measures.
