| Abstract | With the advancement of the communications technologies, the communications
applications are also becoming increasingly diverse. To support the applications like multimedia
communications, high speed data, imaging, etc., requirement of a highly flexible broadband switch
having capability of switching a wide spectrum of data rates ranging from a few kb/s to hundreds
of Mb/s becomes prominent.
The broadband switches using space switching technology cannot be made for large input
output port numbers for numerous reasons like complexity, synchronization, reliability, etc. This
thesis comparatively investigates the complexities of the broadband switches considering pin count
to be the main constraint.
The modular interconnection of the switch units is investigated as a solution for making
bigger switch architectures.
Exploring the stochastic behavior of the A TM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) cells and its
fixed packet length character, a novel first stage sorter network is proposed to reduce the overall
complexities of the broadband switch architectures and to make the architectures rugged and
reliable. |
