To accelerate research on Beyond 5G (B5G) technologies in Japan, we propose an algorithm that designs mesh-type metropolitan area network (MAN) models based on a priori Japanese regional railway information, because ground-truth communication network information is unavailable. Instead, we use the information of regional railways, which is expected to express the necessary geometric structure of our metropolitan cities while remaining strongly correlated with their population densities and demographic variations. We provide an additional compression algorithm for use in reducing a small-scale network model from the original MAN model designed using the proposed algorithm. Two Tokyo MAN models are created, and we provide day and night variants for each while highlighting the number of passengers alighting/boarding at each station and the respective population densities. The validity of the proposed algorithm is verified through comparisons with the Japan Photonic Network model and another model designed using the communication network information, which is not ground-truth. Comparison results show that our proposed algorithm is effective for designing MAN models and that our result provides a valid Tokyo MAN model.
The fairness algorithm of the Resilient Packet Ring IEEE 802.17 standard suffers from throughput degradation under an unbalanced overload. This letter proposes an enhanced fairness algorithm using a valuable piece of information, represented by the transit buffer length, about congestion alleviation on a congested node, under which the throughput degradation can be completely improved.
A "dual-ring" network configuration is proposed in wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) metropolitan area network (MAN). In the proposed architecture, a "sub-ring" using two fibers is added to the existing metropolitan WDM ring for flexible and cost effective addition of new nodes.

This paper discribes a shared medium access control protocol for residential home and small business customer ATM network application with distributed high-speed multimedia services. This protocol offers global fairness for the whole network with a CG (Centralized Grant) signal and, at the same time, offers local fairness between nodes with DG (Distributed Grant) signals. The DG signal is only meaningful to the next neighboring node. The local fairness is kept between two nodes in distributed way, but this distributed local fairness helps to keep the global fairness. Because the DG signal is related to the passed DG signal from the neighbor node. This protocol is rather simple but shows high performance than the already announced protocols.

The DQDB MAC Protocol standardized by the IEEE 802.6 Committee is a single segment bandwidth reservation scheme that only reserves bandwidth for one segment in the distributed queue. Recently, multi-segment bandwidth reservation schemes that reserve bandwidth for not only one segment in the distributed queue but also a part of or all segments in the local node queue have been proposed. In this paper, we propose a new multi-segment bandwidth reservation protocol that can quickly react to changes in a node's traffic and can quickly allocate the bandwidth fairly and waste-free. We also evaluate the mean message transmission delay and throughput convergence performance by simulation. As a result, it is shown that the mean message transmission delay can be decreased and the throughput can be quickly converged to fair bandwidth allocation.
