Abstract

An adaptive protocol for WDM passive star networks, which is capable of operating efficiently under bursty, and correlated traffic, is introduced. According to the proposed protocol, the stations which are granted permission to transmit at each time slot, are selected by taking into account the network feedback information. Although the traffic parameters are unknown and time-variable, the bandwidth of each wavelength is allocated to the stations according to their needs. In this way, the number of idle slots is reduced, resulting in a significant increase of the network throughput.
