Conventional schemes are greedy in the sense that they process headers one by one. In PI-OBS, all the headers received during a given time window are jointly processed to optimize the delay and output wavelength allocation, applying void filling techniques, and allowing traffic differentiation. Results show a similar or better performance than the LAUC-VF algorithm, commonly used as a performance bound for OBS schedulers. The PI-OBS scheduler has been designed to allow parallel electronic implementation similar to the ones in VOQ schedulers, with a deterministic response time. %K Ingeniería Telemática %K Algoritmo PI-OBS %K Método iterativo %K Conmutación óptica %K Redes de fibra óptica %K Tráfico de telecomunicaciones %K Optimizar el retraso %K Asignación de longitud de onda de salida %K Técnicas de relleno de vacíos %K Programador VOQ %K PI-OBS algorithm %K Iterative method %K Iterative methods %K Optical burst switching %K Optical fibre network %K Telecommunication traffic %K Optimize the delay %K Output wavelength allocation %K Void filling technique %K VOQ scheduler %~ GOEDOC, SUB GOETTINGEN
