Abstract
In this paper a performance analysis of the CRMA (Cyclic Reservation Multiple Access) medium access protocol, which is proposed as an access mechanism for high-speed LANs and MANs is presented. An approximate computational method is derived to obtain the distribution functions of performance measures of interest like the medium access delay and the packet transfer time. The analysis is done in discrete-time domain using a decomposition approach for the access delay in conjunction with a G/G/1 queue with control-feedback and a M/G/1 queue with server vacation. In the model the reservation-cancelation backpressure mechanism is also taken into account. Numerical results are obtained to investigate the efficiency of the backpressure scheme and the scaling issues of the interreserve interval under various load conditions and system configurations. Furthermore, results addressing performance aspects like the fairness issues, the jitter of maximum access delay and the system behavior under station-wise saturated conditions are also discussed.
