Abstract

A peer to peer RLAN using the multiple access protocol is presented. Each station in the network is free to exchange packets with every other station and there is no base station to coordinate the network's operation. The multiple access protocol is token passing with exhaustive service while the error control protocol is stop and wait ARQ. With fading, an adaptive routing algorithm is required. Also described is the steady state performance of the token passing protocol and an evaluation of the system.
