Multiaccess mesh (multimesh) networks
Abstract
This paper introduces the multiaccess mesh (or multimesh) network. Stations are arranged in a two-dimensional (2-D) mesh in which each row and column functions as a conventional linear local-area network (LAN) or metropolitan-area network (MAN) subnetwork. Full connectivity is achieved by enabling stations to merge their row and column subnetworks, under the coordination of a merge control protocol. A two-dimensional token-passing protocol is …
