Message-based priority functions in multiaccess/broadcast communication systems with a carrier sense capability
Abstract
Packet communication systems of the multiaccess/broadcast type exemplified by ETHERNET and single-hop ground ratio networks are considered, and a simple distributed algorithm which can support message-based priority functions using carrier sensing is described. The scheme is based on the principle that access right to the channel be exclusively granted to ready messages of the current highest priority level. It is suitable for fully-connected broadcast networks with or without the collision detection feature and can be made preemptive or noo-preemptive.
