Abstract
In this paper, a new scheduling algorithm, Serialized Batch Scheduling (SBS) for Optical Burst Switching (OBS) networks is proposed. SBS aggregates and serializes bursts along shared path into one composite burst which is switched as a single unit. There are two important processes in SBS namely, batching and serializing. While the batching process chooses proper set of bursts to form the composite burst, the serializing process determines how to organize the OBS bursts within the composite burst and generates a corresponding composite control packet. Several SBS batching and serializing schemes are introduced and analyzed. Our study shows that the guard band and bursts overlap can be reduced in the proposed SBS, and therefore, the packet loss rate and the number of switch reconfigurations can be significantly reduced.
