Blocking Model for All-Optical Overlaid-Star TDM Networks

—This paper studies the blocking performance of a class of all-optical overlaid-star TDM networks using a leastcongested-path routing strategy for path selection. An analytical model is proposed to estimate the call blocking probability in such networks. This model takes link-load correlation into account and thus can provide accurate estimation of the blocking probability. The accuracy of the model is verified by comparing analytical results with simulation results.
