  • Methods of collision control in CSMA local area network
    Patent number: 5940399
    Abstract: The present invention discloses method and apparatus to improve bandwidth utilization and fairness in star topology, collision based networks such as CSMA/CD, IEEE 802.3, ETHERNET. In one embodiment of the invention, when a collision is detected, a multi-port repeater initiates a collision recovery scheme in which it schedules a transmission order for the ports involved in the collision. One end station or port is allowed to transmit at one time. All other ports are sent DEFER signal. In collision control scheme, in response to a collision, a multi-port repeater allows one port or end station to transmit based on a suitable transmission arbitration or scheduling algorithm. The end stations having a frame to transmit send the frame immediately when the channel is free. If the channel is deferred, the end stations send a request-transmission indication to the repeater.
