AI Article Synopsis
- An optical packet switch is proposed that utilizes both limited range and full range wavelength converters to resolve contention while reducing conversion costs.
- An analytical model is developed and validated through simulation to determine the optimal number and conversion range of these wavelength converters.
- Numerical results indicate that this switch design can achieve a cost saving of approximately 90% compared to traditional systems using only full range wavelength converters.
Article Abstract
An optical packet switch that shares both limited range and full range wavelength converters for contention resolution is proposed with the aim to guarantee a high conversion cost saving. To optimally dimension the number and the conversion range of the wavelength converters, an analytical model, validated by simulation, is introduced. Numerical results show that the proposed switch architecture allows for a conversion cost saving in the order of 90% with respect to a traditional architecture in which only shared full range wavelength converters are used.
