Abstract :
This paper presents the design and performance analysis of a predictor-based scheduling algorithm for optical wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) networks. A reservation-based multiple access control (MAC) protocol which schedules reservation requests from the network nodes on the multiple channels. We reduce the amount of time spent in computing the schedule by predicting traffic requests. The performance analysis based on discrete-event simulation, varying the parameters such as number of nodes and channels is presented
