Abstract
An apparatus and method for adjusting a receiving time point of burst data in an optical burst switching network is provided. The method includes comparing a reference time point of a node with a time slot boundary of the burst data; and adjusting the time slot boundary of the burst data in accordance with the reference time point. The apparatus includes a sync detection section which is configured to detect a difference between a time slot boundary of the burst data and a reference time point; and a sync control section which is configured to control shifting and re-aligning the received burst data with the reference time point according to the difference detected by the sync detection section.
