Abstract
A contention resolution scheme, P-cycle auto-switching (PCAS), is proposed in wavelength-switched optical networks (WSONs) based on generalized multi-protocol label switching (GMPLS) to solve backward blocking. This system permits the preferable request and switches the other to a backup path generated by the P-cycle. Simulation results show that the PCAS scheme is effective in mitigating backward blocking, especially under concentrated load.
