Abstract

Most of the logical topologies for lightwave networks available in the literature are not scalable. As a result, for these topologies, the addition of new stations to an existing network is extremely difficult. In this paper, we present a scalable topology for lightwave networks and discuss how the expansion of the network can be handled. We analyze the properties of the proposed network and compare it with other network interconnections. Assuming a multistar implementation, we also address the channel assignment problem
