  • Background arbitration monitoring to improve access on lightly consumed network
    Patent number: 5742239
    Abstract: A method for arbitrating for control of a network medium for transmission, combining aspects of the time slots and collision-based arbitration schemes by dynamically modifying the scheme used in accordance with network load. In a preferred embodiment, this is done by assigning time slots to the various nodes and arbitrating using the time slots when the network is free. If there are no requests for use of the network after a predefined number of time slots, any node can immediately access the network using a collision-detection method without being required to wait for a time slot arbitration procedure.
