Modeling of Clos Switching Structures with Dynamically Variable Number of Active Switches in the Spine Stage

Abstract: This article proposes a new analytical model of a switching structure using a Clos network topology. The assumption is that, in the structure under consideration, it is possible to switch off temporarily a certain number of spine switches (those in the middle stage of the switching fabric) depending on the current intensity of the offered traffic to reduce power consumption. The solution presented in the article can be used in present-day multiservice switching fabrics and in networks connecting server… Show more

“…The speculative demonstration has been presented by configuring 4 × 4 microring (MRRs), switch and select (S&S) to evaluate the performance of a 16 × 16 Clos network using 12.5 Gbps PAM4 signal across the network and 1.1 dB maximum power retribution at a bit error rate of 1.03 × 10 −7 [27]. Clos network has been analyzed to reduce the power consumption by switching off some switches temporarily depending on the traffic parameters at any time, also few routing techniques have been developed to improve the blocking probability, propagation time and delay along with shuffle exchange networks have been suggested for multiple stages interconnecting switch matrix [28][29][30]. For providing flexibility in terms of giving clocks to the nanocircuits the overall design has been segregated in various grids in clockwise and anticlockwise directions.…”

“…More specifically, they require a single RRU (from the RRH that will serve them) and a single CRU from the BBU pool. However, in contemporary networks it is essential, for network planning, to consider a multiservice environment where MUs generate calls of various resource requirements [34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46]. In [45], we introduced two such multirate loss models for the C-RAN architecture and named them multi-class single-cluster and multiclass multi-cluster models (MC-SC and MC-MC, respectively).…”
