Method and apparatus for distributed queue multiple access in a communication system

摘要: A distributed queue multiple access technique is disclosed for a system comprising two counterflowing transmission busses (A,B), plural stations (i, j) connected between them, and headend station generating slots on the first one (A) of busses; each transmitting requests second (B) determining its right to transmit data in bus basis it has seen. Each maintains FIFO (41) sequential storage numbers representing external (EXT-REQ) local (LOC-REQ) requests. To achieve correct timing entering from respective free passing bus, station-individual delay introduced by maintaining (71) specific number entries. This results an equally fair treatment all stations, guarantees availability consecutive any which requested them.
