What is BROADCASTING?
Broadcasting is the distribution of audio or video
content to a dispersed audience via any electronic mass
communications medium, but typically one using the
electromagnetic spectrum, in a one-to-many model.
Broadcast and Select WDM Networks
All-optical WDM networks have full potential of
optical transmission capacity and versatility of
communication networks beyond SONET
architectures.

WDM N/W

Broadcast-and-select Wavelength-routing
techniques networks.
Broadcast-and-select techniques

 Broadcast-and select techniques employing passive


optical stars, buses and wavelength routers are used for
local networks can be classified as
(1) Single-hop networks
(2) Multi-hop networks
Broadcast and Select Signal Hop Network

•    Two alternate physical architectures for a WDM-based local network have n sets
of transmitters and receivers are attached to either a star coupler or a passive bus.      
• Each transmitter sends its information at a fixed wavelength.
•·   All the transmissions from the various nodes are combined in a pasive star.
Coupler  or coupled onto a bus and sent out to all receivers.
• An interesting point to note is that the WDM setup is protocol transparent.
Broadcast and Select Signal Hop Network
Architecture of single hop n/w
Broadcast and Select Multihop Network

•  Drawback of single-hop networks is the need for rapidlyt unable lasers or


receiver optical fibers.
•·This drawback can be overcome by the designs of multihop networks.
• Multihop networks do not have direct paths between each node pair.
• Each node has a small number of fixed tuned optical transmitter and
receivers.
 ·           An example, a four node broadcast and select multihop network where
each node transmits on one set of two fixed wavelengths and receives on
another set of two fixed wavelengths.
 ·           Information destined for other nodes will have to be routed through
intermediate stations.
 ·           Considering the operation, a simplified transmission shceme in which
message are sent as packets with a data field and an address header containing
source and destination identifiers (i.e,. routing information) with control bits.
Advantages of WDM Networks

➨Full duplex transmission is possible. 


➨Easier to reconfigure. 
➨Optical components are similar and more
reliable. 
➨It provides higher bandwidth. 
➨This could be the best approach as it is
simple to implement. 
➨High security
