Contention Resolution with Heterogeneous Job Sizes
Abstract. We study the problem of contention resolution for differentsized jobs on a simple channel. When a job makes a run attempt, it learns only whether the attempt succeeded or...

Performance Model of an Optical Switch using Fiber Delay Lines for Resolving Contentions
The performance of an optical switch that handles contention resolution using a fiber delay line (FDL) is modeled and evaluated. We propose using a simple optical buffer that con...

A Novel Mechanism for Contention Resolution in HFC Networks
Abstract— The Medium Access Control (MAC) scheme proposed by DAVIC/DVB, IEEE 802.14 and DOCSIS for the upstream channel of Hybrid Fiber Coaxial (HFC) access networks is based on ...
