In single hop lightwave networks, the system performance using ALOHA-based protocols depends on the number of minislots in a data transmission frame. But, in the case of adopting this protocol to ATM, the multi-control channels are required in order to improve the system performance because the size of cell is fixed and short.
In this paper, we propose a dynamic channel allocation algorithm with two-control channels. This algorithm dynamically alloctes channel for prioritized traffic in high-speed optical ATM networks. In order to evalute the performance of proposed algorithm, we simulate in terms of per channel throughput, cell loss rate. and cell delay with variations in offered load.
