Dynamic network management for firmware controlled network topology
L. Nahar, Sourav Bhattacharya · 2002
High assurance is a collective term implying real time security, reliability and safety. We consider a load balancing utopia for dynamic media access control (MAC) in firmware controlled network media (e.g., wireless, optical network) which provides high assurance. In a firmware controlled network, frequency and time assignment can be embedded in the logical channel on the fly-that is, logical channels with various frequency, time and code assignments can be created and updated dynamically. Consequences are that, when high assurance like real time traffic is required, we can create additional logical channels to support it without leading to congestion on the existing logical channels.
