Abstract: | The upper and lower bounds for the mean cycle time and the mean message transmission time of class six and class four in the IEEE 802.4 token bus network, within which the minimum utilization constraint of class four is guaranteed, are derived. Stability conditions for the token bus network are also derived. These bounds and stability conditions are represented in terms of the high-priority token hold time, the token rotation time, the arrival rate, the total number of stations, etc. A parameter-tuning algorithm in a partially symmetric token bus network with two classes is suggested. This algorithm maximizes the utilization of class four for a given high-priority token hold time and at the same time meets the constraints of the stability condition of the network, the real-time constraint, and the minimum utilization of class four |
