Abstract :
Studies a multiconnection problem, in multichannel networks and proposes an effective multiconnection protocol for establishing and releasing connections with dynamic bandwidth requirement. Each originating station in the network is allowed to set up connections to several terminating stations, and send packets to these terminating stations in different slots in a TDM fashion. Similarly, each terminating station is allowed to keep connections with several originating stations, and receive packets from these originating stations in different slots in a TDM fashion. Effective slot allocation schemes for multiple connections at the same station, as well as conditions for strict-sense acceptance and rearrangeable acceptance are given
