Selective broadcast interconnection: a novel scheme for fiber-optic local-area networks

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We introduce a passive, unswitched scheme for directly interconnecting N stations, each of which has C transmitters and receivers. Implementations using fiber optics with spatial multiplexing and optionally wavelength multiplexing are discussed. This scheme utilizes the same resources as standard topologies with C parallel buses but outperforms them in two respects: (1) the aggregate throughput is proportional to C2 rather than to C and (2) the power of each transmitter need reach only N/C, instead of N, receivers.
