Improved Time Slotted OBS network architecture and a novel delay aware burst transmission algorithm to reduce the network data loss

In this paper we present a modified network architecture of Time-Slotted Optical Burst Switching (TSOBS), which shows improved performance in terms of lower packet transmission delay. Additionally, we present a novel delay aware burst transmission algorithm which has resulted in a lower data loss probability than the existing burst transmission approaches. Our performance results show lower data packets loss probability at different network traffic arrival rates.
