Abstract

Various protocols for channel access arbitration in bus networks have been proposed in the literature. In this work we present a general model which can be used to analyze and compare the steady state behavior of these protocols in a unified manner. The global behavior of a multiaccess protocol for a bus network is characterized by a transmission phrase, a resolution phase, and an idle phase. Steady state equations for a general service distribution are derived for each phase using the method of supplementary variables. The resulting model is then employed to determine the steady state behavior of two classes of networks: those with a finite number of stations and those with a number of stations large enough to be considered infinite. Numerical examples are then given for two specific service distributions to illustrate the effect of specific parameters on the performance of a multiaccess protocol.
