A protocol for multiple access communication with real-time delivery constraints
Dan Cristian Marinescu · 2002
A multiple access protocol with real-time delivery constraints is introduced, and its properties are investigated. The modified shortest time to extinction (MSTE) algorithm implements a pseudo shortest time to extinction scheduling policy. The salient features of the algorithm are: it allows transmission of messages belonging to several classes of criticality, it takes into account the actual priority of a message in a given class and it rejects packets with deadlines shorter than a minimum acceptance deadline defined for a particular class.>
