In conventional protocols, when the control packets collided with other ones or the packets didn?t get a data channel from the channel reservation mechanism, these packets should be retransmitted. But, when transmission distance becomes long, it takes a long time to transmit the control packets and the propogation dalay time will be long. In this paper, we propose a new media access protocol for single hop Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) networks with a passive star topology. The proposed protocol can allocate data channels without retransmitting control packets except the collided ones. The simulation results show that the proposed protocol can provide high data channel usage rate and a low number of collided control packet even if the transmission distance is long. Furthermore, the proposed protocol has good performance comparied with conventional protocols.
