为了应对灰霾对星地量子通信信道所带来的突发性干扰,根据灰霾天气下量子信号在自由空间中的衰减指数,本文提出了一种基于信号功率衰减最低的最优链路量子卫星切换策略。当目前的星地链路参数满足切换条件时,地面用户通过对不同信道中量子信号功率衰减系数的比对,测试到最小衰减卫星链路,基于对光子态Bell基的测量,完成卫星间的量子纠缠交换,建立新的纠缠信道,保证通信在切换过程中的连续性。仿真结果表明,当系统呼损率为5%,能见度为1km,地面用户数分别为50、100、300,轨道高度为300km和1400km时,量子卫星的切换成功率分别为95%、93.6%、91.8%和92%、90%、87%。由此可见,本策略能够在保证通信可靠性的前提下,实现星地间量子信道的平稳切换,提高量子卫星通信系统在灰霾背景下链路的有效性。

降雪干扰下基于演化博弈的低轨量子卫星多用户切换策略

低轨道量子卫星是构建全球天地一体化量子保密通信网的重要组成部分。单颗低轨量子卫星服务时间有限,为了保证卫星与地面用户之间的持续通信,地面终端需要及时切换至其他可供服务的卫星。为了解决降雪环境干扰下地面多用户量子卫星切换场景下的阈值判决问题,分析了大气雪环境对量子星地链路的衰减影响,提出了一种基于演化博弈的多属性量子卫星切换策略。根据用户的带宽、卫星剩余服务时间及链路衰减三个属性定义效用函数,根据星间传输时延、信道纠缠度定义开销函数,最终得到用户的收益函数,建立演化博弈切换模型。仿真结果表明,该策略具有稳定性和公平性,能够有效均衡卫星的负载,且与基于最低链路衰减和最优纠缠度的单属性切换策略相比,切换成功率分别提升了1.2%和1.5%,这对未来降雪干扰环境下低轨量子卫星网络的多用户动态切换有一定的参考意义。

Performance enhancement of optical burst switched networks

Optical burst switching (OBS) is an optical switching paradigm which offers a good tradeoff between the traditional optical circuit switching (OCS) and optical packet switching (OPS) since it has the relatively easy implementation of the first and the efficient bandwidth utilization of the second. Hence, OBS is a promising technology for the next generation optical Internet. A buffer-less OBS network can be implemented using ordinary optical communication equipment without the need for either wavelength converters or optical memories. In an OBS network, burst-loss performance is a critical concern. In OBS, the data-burst transmission is delayed by an offset time (relative to its burst control packet (BCP), or header) and the burst follows its header without waiting for an acknowledgment for resource reservation. Thus, a burst may be lost at an intermediate node due to contention, which is generally resolved according to the local routing and bandwidth information. The routing table maintained in each OBS node is generally pre-computed and fixed to forward the data bursts. Such a static forwarding feature might have limited efficiency to resolve contentions. Moreover, a burst may be lost and the network may be congested when a network element (e.g., fiber link) fails. In this paper, an efficient integrated scheme based on dynamic routing and burst segmentation has been proposed to improve reliability of data transport and network load balancing in optical burst switched networks. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed approach reduces effectively blocking probability and hence contention. Further, it provides end-to-end throughput performance also. Hence, it establishes an appropriate tradeoff between loss rate and end-to-end throughput.

Fast restoration scheme for MPLS-TP enabled optical multicast

To improve the restoration performance of a multicast service of multi-protocol label switching transport profile （MPLS-TP） enabled optical network,this letter proposes a local-node initiated fast restoration （LNIFR） scheme for MPLS-TP optical multicast service.The proposed scheme allows the local node to establish a segment of fast loopback label switch path by the local node along the upstream of the failed node or link to the nearest downstream node.The fast restoration of optical multicast trees is realized through this part restoration,which focuses on failed node or link.Simulation analysis and results demonstrate that the new scheme outperforms the other schemes in terms of restoration time and success rate.     

All-optical code routing in interconnected optical CDMA and WDM ring networks

We propose an all-optical hybrid network composed of optical code division multiple access (CDMA) rings interconnecting through a reconfigurable wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) metro area ring. This network retains the advantages of both the optical CDMA and WDM techniques, including asynchronous access and differentiated quality of service, while removing the hard limit on the number of subscribers and increasing network flexibility. The all-optical network is enabled by using nonlinear optical loop mirrors in an add/drop router (ADR) that performs code conversion, dropping, and switching asynchronously. We experimentally demonstrate the functionalities of the ADR in the proposed scheme asynchronously and obtain error-free performance. The bit-error rate measurements show acceptable power penalties for different code routes.     

Analysis of physical layer performance of hybrid optical-wireless access network

The hybrid optical-wireless access network (HOWAN) is a favorable architecture for next generation access network. It is an optimal combination of an optical backhaul and a wireless front-end for an efficient access network. In this paper, the HOWAN architecture is designed based on a wavelengths division multiplexing/time division multiplexing passive optical network (WDM/TDM PON) at the optical backhaul and a wireless fidelity (WiFi) technology at the wireless front-end. The HOWAN is proposed that can provide blanket coverage of broadband and flexible connection for end-users. Most of the existing works, based on performance evaluation are concerned on network layer aspects. This paper reports physical layer performance in terms of the bit error rate (BER), eye diagram, and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the communication system. It accommodates 8 wavelength channels with 32 optical network unit/wireless access points (ONU/APs). It is demonstrated that downstream and upstream of 2 Gb/s can be achieved by optical backhaul for each wavelength channel along optical fiber length of 20 km and a data rate of 54 Mb/s per ONU/AP along a 50 m outdoor wireless link.     

Effects of the switching time in OPS/OBS networks

In this paper we present an analytical model, which considers the effects of the switching time on the network performance in service differentiated optical packet/burst switching (OPS/OBS) networks. Our results indicate that the switching time must be less than 10 % of the packet/burst duration in order to avoid any significant reductions in the network performance. Furthermore, regarding a network with full wavelength conversion, we show that the benefits of statistical resource sharing are almost non-existent for low priority traffic when the switching time is large.     

Alternative Wired and 60-GHz Wireless Full Duplex Access Based on a Polarization Orthogonal Dual-Tone Optical Millimeter-Wave Signal

Abstract

A novel full duplex fiber wireless link providing alternative wired and 60-GHz wireless access is proposed based on a polarization orthogonal dual-tone optical millimeter-wave signal. In a hybrid optical network unit, the downlink optical signal can be decomposed as a single-sideband optical millimeter-wave signal (baseband optical signal) for wireless (wired) access by a polarization controller and polarization beam splitter. The uplink optical carrier abstracted from the downlink optical signal makes the hybrid optical network unit free from the optical source. The simulation results show that both downlinks and uplinks for either wired or wireless access can maintain quite good performance over 60 km of fiber.

Distributed queue optical burst switched ring—A MAC protocol with zero blocking for OBS ring networks

Optical burst switching is a switching technology that is able to provide viable switching for optical internet with the present day technology. This paper presents a new medium access protocol for wavelength division multiplexing based optical burst switched metro ring network namely distributed queue optical burst switched ring (DQOBSR). It is a slotted, distributed queue access protocol with fixed bus structure and simple wavelength assignment. The topology consists of two unidirectional, counter rotating rings and the medium access protocol is based on distributed queuing. The protocol provides zero blocking with acceptable access delays. A mathematical model is also presented to determine the mean access delay which is the important performance parameter for the protocol. The simulation and model based results are compared and found to be in good agreement.
