Abstract :
A number of cases of slotted Aloha protocols for high-speed optical fiber local area networks (LANs) are presented and analyzed. The results are compared to the cases of Slotted Aloha/Aloha schemes presented by I.M.I. Habab et al., (1987) and N. Mehravori (1990). The proposed schemes were found to offer better throughput and delay characteristics. These cases are also compared with Aloha/N-server and CSMA/N-server protocols presented by Habab and Mehravori. Some of the considered protocols offer better throughput when the data packet lengths are small. Two cases of reservation Aloha protocols are presented and analyzed
