Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立中央大學 === 資訊及電子工程研究所 === 81 === The data transmission rate of DQDB is in the range from DS3 to SONET speeds ( 44 Mbps to 155 Mbps ). Due to the increased ratio of propagation delay to cell transmission time, the information that a station received about the current state of DQDB network could be out of date in such a high speed environment. This fact results in the position dependent characteristics of the network and is the main reason that unfair throughput and access delay appears, especially when the state of network is overloaded to cause unpredictable behavior. Though Bandwidth Balancing Machine ( BWBM ) is enabled in the IEEE 802.6 DQDB and the fairness of throughput may be reached, but the unfairness of access delay still exists, especially under overloaded condition. In this thesis we propose an efficient modification of REQ Queue Machine ( RQM ) with an access protection protocol. The modified RQM scheme eliminates longer access delay for the stations near the end of bus. The utilization of modified protection scheme prevents the stubborn unfairness for the stations close to the head of bus. Simulation results show that our proposal can reach the fairness of both throughput and access delay in overloaded DQDB.
