Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

This paper introduces two nonblocking switching fabric architectures designed for multicast connections. These connections are defined using the multislot connection approach, mainly applied in elastic optical networks. In contrast to earlier solutions, this approach assumes that multislot connections are consistently established in adjacent continuous slots. This implies that previously established solutions could not be applied. Our study presents a comprehensive theoretical framework applicable to the general case of three-stage switching fabrics. These fabrics feature external stages equipped with space switches, while the middle stage incorporates conversion switches that operate in the wavelength, time, or frequency domain. In addition, multicast capabilities are deliberately confined to the output-stage switch or switches. A fundamental contribution of this work lies in the formulation of the worst-case scenario, which serves as the foundational basis for deriving strict-sense nonblocking conditions governing such multicast switching fabrics. Our analysis formally demonstrates that the fundamental structure of the multicast nonblocking switching fabric aligns closely with that of the previously examined point-to-point fabric. The only difference is related to the ability to multicast within the output stage of the switching fabric. Full article
