Stability Analysis of Interconnected Random-Access Networks.
Abstract
This document considers the interconnection of two multiple-access/broadcast networks, each of which connects a large population of bursty users via packaet-switched, random-access channel. In each network a station, called bridge node, receivers internetwork packets from the local users and forwards them to the bridge node of the destination network via a point-to-point link; the bridge node of the destination network places these internetwork packets in its queue for subsequent broadcasting to the local users. Considered are two ways of multiplexing the local traffic and the internetwork traffic: contention multiplexing and channel division multiplexing. Under contention multiplexing, the bridge node uses the same random-access channel that the local users use, and therefore it participates in the contention. Under channel division multiplexing, the channel in each of the two networks is subdivided into a node subchannel, used exclusively by the bridge node, and a random-access channel, used by the local users.
