ABSTRACT:
A multi-level rotating priority scheme for access to the medium of a network by network stations is controlled in a decentralized manner. Each network station maintains its own record of the time interval it must wait following the medium becoming available before it will attempt transmission of data. The network stations modify their time intervals based on information they receive about collisions of data that occur on the network. The time intervals in the individual network stations are eventually modified during operation so that each has different time intervals, and effectively, different priority for accessing the medium. Following a transmission by a network station, the time intervals change in the network stations and the priority rotates.
