Switched point-to-point local area network control mechanism

摘要: A local area network employs a shared control channel over which messages between frequency agile modems for each of the user nodes distributed architecture-configured are exchanged. In addition to channel, plurality data pairs is available effecting full duplex communications any two network. Because all assignments depend upon successful use prescribed contention access scheme employed optimize by users irrespective demand its use. Pursuant this scheme, requesting node must first compare an accumulated activity measure with traffic density threshold that continuously optimized current level activity. Unless less than threshold, temporarily forbidden period time designed reduce optimal level.
