We investigate the timing properties of the timed token protocol that are necessary to guarantee synchronous message deadlines. A tighter upper bound on the elapse time between the...
Timed token medium access protocols are widely adopted in real-time multiple access networks because of bounded access time. However, timed token protocols inadequately provide per...
The token protocols in FDDI and FDDI-M support synchronous and asynchronous traffic. However, FDDI suffers from a token-lateness problem, and FDDI-M may starve asynchronous traffi...
—IEEE 802.11 DCF is the MAC protocol currently used in wireless LANs. 802.11 DCF is inefficient due to two types of overhead; channel idle time and collision time. This paper pr...
Token passing is a channel access technique used in several communication networks. Among them, one of the most effective solution for supporting both real-time traffic (synchron...
