A Novel RWA Cooperation Method Considering Retransmission In Optical Burst Switched Networks

This paper presents a novel RWA cooperation method considering retransmission in distributed optical burst switched networks. In OBS networks, it is important to retransmit bursts if collisions occurred. Our proposal treats RWA problem for both of normal bursts and retransmitted bursts. The simulation results show that this method improves the burst loss probability.
