Abstract
In this paper, we applied a group scheduling algorithm to core nodes in an optical burst switching (OBS) network and measured its performance by simulation. For the case of core nodes with multi-channel input/output ports, performance of the group scheduling has been compared to that of the immediate scheduling. Since the group scheduling has a characteristic of scheduling a group of bursts simultaneously in a time window using information collected from corresponding burst header packets arrived earlier to a core node, simulation results show that the group scheduling outperforms the immediate scheduling in terms of both burst loss probability and channel utilization and the difference gets larger as the load increases. Another node configuration in which wavelength converters are equipped at the output ports has also been considered. In this case, even though both performance metrics of the group scheduling are almost the same as those of the immediate scheduling in the offered load range between 0.1 and 0.9, the group scheduling has lower wavelength conversion rate than the immediate scheduling by at least a factor of seven. This fact leads us to the conclusion that the group scheduling makes it possible to implement more economical OBS core nodes.
