Abstract
A wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) based multicasting protocol for a single-hop broadcast-and-select local lightwave network is proposed. Our approach employs a controlchannel -based media-access protocol that schedules multicast packets while incorporating arbitrary transceiver tuning times and propagation delays. An arbitrary number of data channels (W ) supply communication bandwidth to N nodes, where N W . An additional control channel is used for synchronization and scheduling. Each node is equipped with one fixed transmitter and one fixed receiver on the control channel, as well as one tunable (wavelength-agile) transmitter and one or more tunable receivers for data channel access. Results suggest that WDM single-hop multicasting experiences very good performance when multicast size is either small or very large, or when nodes are equipped with multiple receivers. 1 Introduction The enormous bandwidth of optical fiber (approx. 25 Thz in each of its low loss regions) whe...
