Abstract
In a recent paper, Melen and Turner [SIAM J. Comput., 18 (1989), pp. 301-313] determined sufficient conditions for multirate interconnection networks to be strictly nonblocking and rearrangeable. They considered the continuous bandwidth case, which permits the bandwidth of a connection to take an arbitrary value in a given closed interval. In this paper, simple necessary and sufficient conditions for multirate interconnection networks to be strictly nonblocking for both discrete and continuous bandwidth cases are determined. New results for rearrangeable multirate networks with discrete bandwidth requirements are also given.
