Comments on the Channel Capacity of Ethernet
نویسنده
چکیده
Ethernet is the most widely used network and many analytical models were developed to predict its capacity. Usually in these models assumptions like infinite population, no back-off algorithm and slotted channel are made. By comparing two models (one slotted and the other non-slotted) with reported measurements, we showed the optimistic estimate of the channel capacity of the slotted model is not due to slotting the channel as believed in the literature but due to other assumptions. Finally, the effect of difference between IEEE 802.3 and Ethernet DIX version 1 regarding preamble sending (IEEE 802.3 completes sending the preamble and then sends the jam signal while Ethernet DIX version 1 aborts sending the preamble and sends the jam signal immediately) on degrading the channel capacity was analyzed.

Capacity Bounds and High-SNR Capacity of the Additive Exponential Noise Channel With Additive Exponential Interference
Communication in the presence of a priori known interference at the encoder has gained great interest because of its many practical applications. In this paper, additive exponential noise channel with additive exponential interference (AENC-AEI) known non-causally at the transmitter is introduced as a new variant of such communication scenarios. First, it is shown that the additive Gaussian ch...
متن کاملA More General Version of the Costa Theorem
In accordance with the Costa theorem, the interference which is independent of the channel input and known non-causally at the transmitter, does not affect the capacity of the Gaussian channel. In some applications, the known interference depends on the input and hence has some information. In this paper, we study the channel with input dependent interference and prove a capacity theorem that n...
متن کاملA multichannel Ethernet protocol for a WDM local area star network
Forthcoming applications will need high guaranteed bandwidth and low bounded delay. This paper illustrates the advantage of distributing total capacity over several wavelengths with an appropriate protocol. Using the benefits of the multichannel capabilities, a new Ethernet protocol based on a Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) scheme is proposed. The major goals are to geographically exten...
متن کاملAn efficient secure channel coding scheme based on polar codes
In this paper, we propose a new framework for joint encryption encoding scheme based on polar codes, namely efficient and secure joint secret key encryption channel coding scheme. The issue of using new coding structure, i.e. polar codes in Rao-Nam (RN) like schemes is addressed. Cryptanalysis methods show that the proposed scheme has an acceptable level of security with a relatively smaller ke...
متن کاملGaussian Z Channel with Intersymbol Interference
In this paper, we derive a capacity inner bound for a synchronous Gaussian Z channel with intersymbol interference (ISI) under input power constraints. This is done by converting the original channel model into an n-block memoryless circular Gaussian Z channel (n-CGZC) and successively decomposing the n-block memoryless channel into a series of independent parallel channels in the frequency dom...
