Abstract

The demand for high communication bandwidth and speed has been growing

exponentially beyond the limits of the capability of current network infrastructure.

Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) has emerged as a promising solution to the

increasing demand on bandwidth and to satisfy the needs of the new classes of services.

Advances in WDM make a single physical fiber virtually equivalent to hundreds of

communication channels. Each channel represents a wavelength that can operate at the

peak electronic speed of -1 OGb/ s and above.

WDM networks play an important role in enabling next-generation high-speed

Internet networks (IP-over-WDM). A key component in such networks is the optical

packet switch (OPS) that provides the basic functionality of switching data packets from

input ports to the desired output ports, on a possibly different wavelength.

As with conventional electronic packet switches, OPS must be designed to deal with

packet contentions effectively and efficiently to avoid packet losses. A common approach

to deal with packet contention in OPS is to use wavelength converters eWCs). A WC is

capable of converting the wavelength of an input signal to a desired output wavelength.

A main objective in designing OPS is to develop a high-performance switch that is cost­

effective. Because WCs usually dominate the overall complexity, and hence the cost, of

the OPS architecture, a key design objective in OPS is to reduce the number of used WCs

without affecting its performance.

Accordingly, in this thesis, a novel OPS architecture is proposed and its scheduling

algorithm is implemented with the objective of reducing conversion complexity while

maintaining high switching performance. The novelty of the proposed architecture is in

its use of wavelength exchange optical crossbars (WOCs), which are shared among

output links in order to reduce conversion complexity. A WOC is a device that can

switch signals simultaneously and seamlessly b~th in space and wavelength domains. II

Unlike conventional OPS designs that use expensive full-range WCs, all wavelength

conversion processes in the proposed design are performed between two fixed

wavelengths.

Extensive simulation results under various traffic loads confirm that the proposed

OPS architecture can reduce the conversion cost by up to four times of that of a typical

WDM OPS architecture. In particular, results show that, under heavy traffic loads, the

conversion cost of the proposed OPS architecture is only 25 % of that of a typical OPS

architecture. Moreover, under low traffic loads, the conversion cost of the proposed

architecture can be reduced to the half ofthat of typical OPS designs.
