ABSTRACT:
A gigabuffer repeater transmission protocol minimizes the amount of buffering necessary at the repeater. Minimum buffer memory requirements are accomplished by using the initial portion of the data packet as the "Request to Send" message and waits, if necessary, until it receives a "Clear to Send" signal from the repeater. Thus, the repeater retains the majority of the buffering at the source of the data, where it is typically cheapest. Further, the repeater transmission scheme can be applied to centrally arbitrated repeaters.
