In this paper, an architecture of Optical Burst Switched WDM ring network is studied. In the studied OBS ring network, every node is equipped with one tunable transmitter and one fixed-tuned receiver (TTFR) operating on a given wavelength that identifies the node. TTFR type ring network has an advantage that no receiver collisions occur and each node can detect channel collision by transmitter side. By computer simulations, we evaluate the performance of throughput, End-to-End delay and queue size. As a result, we show the performance effectiveness of our proposed access protocol.
