Abstract

A reservation multiaccess protocol. is proposed to be used on multichannel local area networks. This protocol is advantageous for networks supporting integrated services. The delay and throughput performance for message transmission are obtained by analysist The delay performance of the protocol is similar to the M-CSMA/CD/IC multichannel network proposed by Marsan and Roffinella. It is found that the reservation protocol can provide better throughput-delay characteristics when the fraction of the total available bandwidth allocated to data is increased. It is also observed that the maximum throughput increases with the increase in the number of channels when the total bandwidth is uniformly divided by the channels.
