Abstract
This paper describes the network architecture of an optical WDM network named SONATA, which has been proposed and will be demonstrated in the context of the European Union ACTS Program. In this nation-wide all-optical network, end-terminals access a single passive routing node via PONs using a TDMA/WDMA access scheme based on slot reservations. The centralized network controller runs resource allocation algorithms in order to avoid conflicts among end-terminals. Since the complexity of optimal solutions to the resource allocation problem at the network controller is very large, we propose in this paper simple heuristic algorithms to solve the network control problem, and study their performance through simulation. Results of the design of the signaling protocol for SONATA are also reported.
