A New Policy for Improving the Performance of the Slotted Persistent CSMA/CD Protocol

In this paper a new policy for improving the performance of the slotted persistent CSMA/CD protocol is proposed. The policy is based on using the channel feedback information to adaptively adjust the level of traffic intensity in order to achieve an optimum system performance. The algorithm for choosing the required step size of the variability for the adjustment of the loading percent of each station in the network is also introduced. A special simulator was build, and the simulation results show that the proposed control policy is able to steer the optimum load percent, which maximize the overall system performance.
