Abstract :
We propose a novel optical ring network configuration using cascaded optical modulators for data communication, and consider different MAC protocol possibilities for this topology. For a unidirectional optical ring, a modified token ring (MTR) MAC protocol is proposed and comparative throughput analysis is performed. For a two-fiber/wavelength topology, the protection/restoration and Ethernet protocol usage possibilities are discussed.
