In these schemes, multiple copies of each data block are sent contiguously instead of one single copy. A data block is considered successfully transmitted if it is positively acknowledged at least once by each receiver during all the transmission attempts. The mean delay time analysis is carried out assuming infinite receiver buffer size. In the case of geometrically distributed interarrival times, the analyzed results show excellent agreement with the simulated results. Based on numerical results, a considerable performance improvement can be achieved by sending each data block the optimum number of copies instead of just one single copy. The effect of finite receiver buffer size was taken into account by simulation. It was found that even with a small receiver buffer, the system performance degraded only slightly.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":170618,"journal":{"name":"[Conference Record] SUPERCOMM/ICC '92 Discovering a New World of Communications","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132952292","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For point-to-point communications, its maximum throughput is known to be independent of the ratio of end-to-end propagation delay to packet transmission time. For broadcast communications, it is shown that, if the offered load density is uniform along the bus, the maximum throughput achievable by a station depends on its location along the bus. To achieve a uniform throughput density, the offered load density has to vary along the bus. The optimal profile for the offered load density is derived. In any case, the maximum throughput degrades with the ratio of end-to-end propagation delay to packet transmission time.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":170618,"journal":{"name":"[Conference Record] SUPERCOMM/ICC '92 Discovering a New World of Communications","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132281722","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In terms of scheduling the transmission of the copies of the packet onto output ports, two basic service disciplines have been defined: (1) one-shot scheduling where all the copies are transmitted in the same time slot; and (2) call splitting with transmission over several time slots. As subcategories of call splitting strict-sense call splitting specifies that each packet can send at most one copy to the destination per time slot and wide-sense call splitting does not carry this restriction. A novel scheme called revision scheduling is proposed to mitigate the head of line blocking effect by sequentially combining the one-shot scheduling and the call splitting disciplines. Schematic structures are introduced for each category of scheduling, in the form of combinational logic circuits which are designed to resolve the output contentions corresponding to call scheduling disciplines, by incorporating a cyclic priority access policy. To compare the performances of various techniques, simulation studies were performed.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":170618,"journal":{"name":"[Conference Record] SUPERCOMM/ICC '92 Discovering a New World of Communications","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127860395","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As an application of the new adaptive estimator (AE), detection of antipodal signals was simulated.
