Since the publication of the second edition of this highly acclaimed textbook,
telecommunications has progressed at a rapid rate. Major advances continue to occur in …

Local area networks have been used successfully in data processing applications for
several years. Recently, there have been several proposals for using these networks in real …

The effect of tuning a number of transmission parameters on the capacity of 802.3 Local
Area Networks for carrying packetized voice and mixed voice and data traffic is described …

Communication networks designed for offices need to handle a variety of text, voice, data
and images. Such office communication systems should not impose extraneous limitations …

This paper begins with a short review of the implications of using optical fibre
communications technology for LANs. Traffic characteristics and the access requirements of …

A technique is described for reducing the delay of speech packets caused by collisions with
other packets on Ethernet. This improvement is achieved by incorporating a contentionfree …

The concept of moving time division multiplex (TDM) slots has been suggested as a method
of avoiding collisions on an Ethernet system carrying voice and data packets. This paper …

A broadcast-bus type of integrated services local area network with hybrid access is
proposed. The proposed media access protocol, slot reservation-CSMA/CD, uses an …

An examination is made of the feasibility of constructing a large distributed PABX by
interconnecting a number of small (128-line) multiplexers using a CSMA/CD (carrier-shift …

The paper describes the design and operation of a microprocessor-based direct memory
access data simulator for monitoring the performance of an Ethernet node. The node …
