Performance analysis for an adaptive polling access-control scheme employing a dynamic reservation protocol
Abstract
Attention is given to a communication network which employs a single multiple-access channel using a communications medium such as a fiber-optic bus, coaxial cable, or a radio multiaccess channel. The present investigation is concerned with a polling procedure, which employs reservation polling (probing) time periods during which busy terminals are identified (using a centralized or distributed control reservation protocol). Following the reservation period, the identified terminals are granted the channel. An analysis is conducted of a Tree Probing Access Control (TPAC) scheme which employs a Tree Random Access reservation procedure. The analysis makes use of a technique which was recently developed by the authors to perform the message delay performance analysis which is outlined in connection with the current investigation.
