— As an optical signal propagates along a lightpath to its destination in wavelength-routed optical networks (WRONs), the quality of transmission (QoT) is degraded by transmissio...
Two protocols for scheduling variable-length packet transmissions in an optical passive star network using wavelength division multiplexing WDM are speci ed and analyzed. These pr...
