Transient Analysis of Photonic Networks

Abstract

The behavior of slotted aloha protocol for a star-coupled Wavelength Division Multiple Access (WDMA) photonic network is studied. Semi-markov process is used for developing the steady state and transient models for the protocol. The performance of the network is evaluated in terms of various measures viz. average number of packets in the network, throughput of the network and average packet delay etc. The analytical models are validated by evaluating the numerical values of the performance indices, which are further compared by using Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) approach.
