Abstract
The packet-broadcasting technique brings together the advantages of both packet switching and broadcast communication. The central problem of a packet broadcast network is conflict resolution among the users sharing the broadcast communication link. Collisions are the major source of transmission errors which degrade the performance of a LAN. Proposed here is a novel multiaccess protocol which offers full communication resources to the user at low traffic requirements. It dynamically adjusts the number of users allowed to access the medium at heavy traffic requirements such that number of collisions are reduced and thus maintains the efficient utilization of the medium and the stability of the system. It also allows time constrained voice packets to be integrated with data packets because of its inherent characteristics of low delay at low to moderate traffic rate and ability to give reasonable performance at heavy traffic.
