Abstract:
A reconfigurable free-space optical inter-rack network includes a plurality of server racks, each including at least one switch mounted on a top thereof, where each top mounted switch includes a plurality of free-space-optic link connector, each with a free-space optical connection to a free-space-optic link connector on another top-mounted switch, a single ceiling mirror above the plurality of server racks that substantially covers the plurality of server racks, wherein the single ceiling mirror redirects optical connections between pairs of free-space-optic link connectors to provide a clear lines-of-sight between each pair of connected free-space-optic link connectors, and a controller that preconfigures a free-space optical network connecting the plurality of server racks by establishing connections between pairs of free-space-optic link connectors, and that reconfigures connections between pairs of free-space-optic link connectors in response to network traffic demands and events.

Claim (Index 4):
The network of  claim 2 , wherein the controller preconfigures an alignment of each SM by\n creating a random simple graph over racks wherein each rack has mk links, wherein m is a number of top-mounted switches per rack and k is the number of SMs per top-mounted switch, mapping each pair of server racks to its reflection polygon, wherein a reflection polygon is, for any pair of racks R a  and R b , a convex hull of reflection points of all possible assigned candidate links connecting a top-rack switch on R a  to a top-rack switch on R b , wherein reflection point for an assigned candidate link connecting two top mounted switches a and b is the point p on a ceiling wherein a, b, and p are on the same vertical plane, and p is equidistant from a and b, clustering the reflection polygons by stabbing the reflection polygons using a minimum number of points, wherein a point stabs a polygon if it lies inside the polygon, wherein a set of polygons that are stabbed by a same point are assigned to a same cluster.
