Abstract

We propose a pipelined asynchronous time division multiplexing optical bus. Such a bus can use one of the two hardware priority schemes, the linear priority scheme and the round-robin priority scheme. Our simulation results show that the performance of the proposed bus is significantly better than the performances of known pipelined synchronous time division multiplexing optical buses
