T. Okugawa et al., COMPOSITE OPTICAL ELECTRICAL BUFFER CONFIGURATION FOR PHOTONIC ATM SWITCHING SYSTEMS/, Electronics Letters, 33(16), 1997, pp. 1398-1400
The proposed optical/electrical buffer configuration for optical-frequ
ency routing in ATM switching systems provides low cell-loss probabili
ty and uses fewer optical devices since electrical buffers are used to
share the buffering load. The shared-load balance is finely tuned by
using an intermediate degree-of-multiplexing table.
