The Available Bit Rate (ABR) service has been developed to support data applications over Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) networks. The network continuously monitors its tra c and provides feedback to the source end systems. This paper explains the rules that the sources have to follow to achieve a fair and e cient allocation of network resources.

The asynchronous systems are the models of the asynchronous circuits from the digital electrical engineering. An asynchronous system f is a multi-valued function that assigns to each admissible input u : R → {0, 1}m a set f(u) of possible states x ∈ f(u), x : R → {0, 1}n. A special case of asynchronous system consists in the existence of a Boolean function Υ : {0, 1}n × {0, 1}m → {0, 1}n such t...

We describe the design of a high performance asynchronous SCSI (Small Computer Systems Interface) controller data path and the associated control circuits. The data path is an asynchronous pipeline and the control circuits for the data path are built out of extended burst-mode machines [11]. This design is functionally compatible with a widely used commercial SCSI controller and was simulated c...

As an effectual simple wireless equivalent created in the telecommunications (telephone) industry, Wireless Asynchronous Transfer Mode (WATM) is utilized to stream unified traffics like video, data, and voice data. In asynchronous data transfer mode, a packet with same medium, share networks burst Effective WATM transmission requires extensive array of designs, techniques used for control, simu...

quorum-based power saving (qps) protocols allow “asynchronous” wireless hosts, operating in a multi-hop ad-hoc network, to tune to the low power mode conceived in ieee 802.11 mac standard. qps schemes guarantee that the wake-up schedule for every two neighboring hosts would ultimately overlap within a bounded latency so as to be able to accomplish their reciprocal “unicast” communications. a ma...
