Analysis and Simulation Protocols Based on Slotted ALOHA for Plastic Optical Fiber Network

In this paper a novel multipriority reservation protocols for plastic optical fiber network is proposed. In conventional OCDMA system only allows finite units to transmit and access simultaneously according to the number of channels which be restricted by BER. To resolve this problem, a novel protocol based on slotted ALOHA is proposed in this paper. By using the reservation scheme and a distributed arbitration algorithm, channel collision and destination conflict can be avoided. The protocol can efficiently support the transmission of multimedia messages that require the different time-delay. The network throughput and average delay has been investigated by numerical analysis and simulation experiments. It is showed that the multipriority reservation protocol in this POF network is valid and efficient.
