Optical tree topologies: Access control and wavelength assignment
1994
Computer networks and ISDN systems
Fiber optic tree topologies are emerging as attractive candidates for Passive Optical Network (PON) implementations, next to the more traditional star and bus topologies. In this paper, we first address the "physical" properties of the optical tree topology (like layout cost, geographical coverage, power budget and fault tolerance) and compare them to similar properties in buses and stars. Then, we discuss the access schemes which can be implemented on a tree. We discuss the introduction of
