Adaptive Collision-Resolution Algorithm and Traffic-Scheduling Mechanism for DOCSIS-Based HFC Networks

摘要

A scheme is proposed that provides high QoS and collision-free data transmission in hybrid fiber-coax (HFC) networks. This scheme ensures effective medium access and creates an effective traffic-scheduling mechanism. To enhance the performance of the proposed scheme, a novel methodology has been adopted. Experiments have been performed to measure the effectiveness of the priority system that use the mean access delay, throughput, and channel utilization as figures of merit.
