An ultra-fast photonic ring network employing optical packet compression-time division multiplexing (OPC-TDM) scheme

摘要

An ultra-fast photonic ring network employing full-scalable Optical Packet Compression TDM (OPC-TDM) scheme is investigated in this paper. Moreover, a new optical packet compression/decompression unit is proposed, which allows high compression rates and large packet sizes thereby relaxing the medium access constraints. The extensive simulations are performed in order to investigate the feasibility of the proposed compression! decompression scheme. The improvement of the OPC-TDM network performance achieved by reducing the rate-conversion latency is shown.
