Abstract
A wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) transmissive star network is investigated, in which each node has one tunable transmitter with limited tuning capability and multiple fixed receivers. Two synchronous channel access protocols requiring no pretransmission penalty are considered: random access and fixed transmission scheduling. An efficient approximate analysis with drastically reduced computational complexity is presented. In spite of the reduced complexity, the presented approach produces very accurate results and can serve in producing the most cost-effective system design for given performance requirements.Keywords
