A simplified optical star network using distributed channel controllers
Abstract
Future photonic networks may be based on emerging wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) technology. In single-hop LAN's using a passive optical star coupler, stations normally access the network using some combination of wavelength-agile transmission and reception. Unfortunately, this parallel channel architecture tends to increase and complicate the user station hardware and protocols. In this paper, a new network architecture is presented. …
