Abstract

With the increase of transmission rates towards the multi-gigbabit range, new issues in the design and operation of local and metropolitan area networks arise. One of those issues is the efficient sharing of bandwidth and scheduling of transmissions in a manner that is to a large extent independent of the medium propagation delay. This paper addresses this topic by surveying recent approaches to the design of media access control (MAC) protocols in high-speed local and metropolitan area networks.
