Abstract

A Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol for Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) star networks has to handle two key issues: channel assignment and nodes' service order. Traditional scheduling techniques define the nodes transmissions and receptions, by considering either channel assignment or nodes' service order issue. Furthermore, they take into account data channels or receivers' availability, but they ignore the similarity between nodes' demands which affect the scheduling length. In this paper a novel, clustering-driven scheduling approach is introduced. The proposed Clustering Driven - Minimum Scheduling Latency (CD-MSL) scheme combines all the aforementioned information and creates groups of source nodes which present similar demands on the basis of their message destination nodes. Based on the obtained clusters, CD-MSL improves network performance by rearranging the nodes' service order. Simulation results indicate that the proposed clustering-driven scheme leads to a significantly higher throughput-delay performance, in comparison to conventional scheduling algorithms. © 2008 IEEE.
