The rapidly evolving field of local network technology has produced a steady stream of local
network products in recent years. The IEEE 802 standards that are now taking shape …

The IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol provides shared access to a wireless channel. This paper
uses an analytic model to study the channel capacity–ie, maximum throughput–when using …

The channel throughput for a finite number of packet broadcasting users is analyzed for
random access protocols, including slotted persistent carrier sense multiple access (CSMA) …

This paper investigates mean delays in a single-server queueing model with cyclic service.
An approximate analysis is performed for an arbitrary number of queues, constant switch …

This paper reports on the implementation of a local area network (LAN) operating under a
new CSMA-CD protocol with dynamic priorities (CSMA-CD-DP). User terminals, host …

In the past several years there has been an increasing interest in the design and the use of
distributed systems. Some of the reasons for this rise in popularity are the need for sharing …

The general problem of allocating the capacity of a communication channel to a population
of geographically distributed terminals is considered. The main locus is on the queueing …

Until about 1960, the most prevalent digital switches were message switches. In a message
switch, information is sent to one or more intermediate points where the message is stored …

Industrial local area networks carrying digital information among manufacturing devices
which are grouped as a Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) have received considerable …

A packet radio network is a packet-switching, computer-communication network for
geographically distributed fixed and mobile users over a radio channel. When the final …
