In [1], we laid a formal basis for guaranteeing the timely delivery of isochronous (real-time) messages with hard deadlines, and devised a slot allocation scheme for allocating pre-arbitrated (PA) slots to isochronous message streams in DQDB networks. In this paper, we extend our work in [1] and address on how to improve the performance (in terms of bandwidth utilization) of the slot allocation scheme using the concept of slot reuse. We devise several slot reuse schemes to assign spatially non-intersecting message streams to the same virtual connections (i.e., the sets of PA slots identi ed by the same VCI numbers). The proposed slot reuse schemes are simple, can be easily incorporated into the slot allocation scheme in [1], and require only a minor change in the current DQDB standards.

متن کاملOn Slot Allocation for Time-Constrained Messages in Dual-Bus Networks
Several access schemes have been suggested for dual-bus network topology, e.g., DQDB [32], Fasnet [37], CRMA [41], and Simple [36]. It is therefore important to provide various services in this type of networks. This paper addresses the issue of guaranteeing the timely delivery of isochronous (real-time) messages with hard deadlines in slotted dual-bus networks. We propose a slot allocation sch...
متن کاملA Proposal of a Minimal-State Processing Search Algorithm for Isochronous Channel Reuse Problems in DQDB Networks
The IEEE 802.6 MAC standard protocol defines the distributed-queue dual bus (DQDB) for metropolitan area networks (MANs). The isochronous channel reuse problem (ICRP) has been studied for the efficient use of DQDB. Given a set of established connections and a set of connection requests, the goal of ICRP is to maximize the number of satisfied requests by finding a proper channel assignment, such...

متن کاملIncorporating Continuation-of-Message Information, Slot Reuse, and Fairness in DQDB Networks
Several important modifications to the distributed queue dual bus (DQDB) (IEEE 802.6) protocol for metropolitan area networks (MANs) are proposed. These modifications are aimed at improving not only the throughput and delay performance of the network but also its fairness performance. The first proposal exploits the continuation-of-message (COM) information in a DQDB segment in order to minimiz...
