Performance analysis on optical networks with TDMA

Due to the traditional realization of distributed-queue dual-bus (DQDB) networks, optical networks with time-division multiple access (TDMA) have the unfair-access problem. It prevents users from adopting the optical TDMA networks. In order to promote bandwidth utility and lower constructional cost of communication networks, this paper discusses the property of the waiting time on optical TDMA networks to distinguish whether the unfair-access problem can be completely solved or not.
