We present in this paper an efficient medium access control (MAC) protocol called
iCSMA/CD for improving the efficiencies of optical wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) …

Using CSMA/CD, Ethernet suffers capture effect that makes it unsuitable for supporting real-
time multimedia traffic. It does not guarantee delay bound and behaves poorly under heavy …

A multi-channel optical fiber network is designed and simulated on a bus network for local
area network environment. A new algorithm is proposed, based on the Ethernet protocol …

The advances in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) technology have tremendously
increased the bandwidth of a single fiber optic, for local and metropolitan area network (LAN …

We propose a new optical physical layer and protocol for optical Local Area Networks
(LANs), which allow a large number ofhosts to be connected while offeringa large capacity …

CSMA/CD based Ethernet suffers from the capture effect and is unsuitable for supporting
real-time multimedia traffic. It behaves poorly under heavy load conditions, leading to an …

We propose a new optical physical layer and protocol for optical Load Area Networks
(LANs), which allow a large number of hosts to be connected while offering a large capacity …

Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) optical networks emerge as a viable alternative to
provide Gbit/s to future network applications. This paper illustrates the benefits of a …
