Transient performance analysis of 1-persistent CSMA and CSMA-CD protocols
Laszlo Jereb, Marco Ajmone Marsan · 2002
An analysis of 1-persistent carrier-sense multiple-access (CSMA) protocols (possibly with collision detection (CD)) operating in fixed-length time intervals is presented, and closed-form results for the transient protocol throughput and average packet delay are derived. Such results provide a basis for the performance evaluation of integrated local area networks where the 1-persistent CSMA(-CD) protocol is used only in a portion of a fixed-length frame whose remaining part is devoted to the transmission of isochronous traffic. Numerical results are given which provide insight into the transient behavior of 1-persistent CSMA and CSMA-CD protocols.>
