Abstract :
High speed multimedia applications are becoming the main stream of broadband integrated services. LAN/MANs have evolved considerably and network speed has expanded from tens of megabit/sec to several gigabit/sec to meet the increasing demand. We present a simple slot reuse scheme on the ACTA (adaptive cycle tunable access) network. The ACTA is a simple slot-accessed bus/ring network protocol based on an adaptive variation of the cycle-lengths according to the network offered load. We discuss the network performance under different traffic distribution patterns. Simulation results show that the slot reuse scheme is very effective in network throughput improvement. With slot reuse, the improved ACTA network is very attractive for high speed multimedia applications
