Summary:
This thesis investigates the waiting-time in a token-ring local area network (LAN) with gated service discipline. It gives an analytical approximati.on for a network with an arbitrary number of stations, non-identical Poisson arrival streams and general service time distributions at each station, and non-zero switch-over time (also referred to as walking time) between adjacent stations. This approximation method is an alternative to the complicated O(N^2) numerical evaluation of the waiting-time currently available in the literature. Extensive simulation results with different parameters are presented to show the degree of accuracy of the approximation, which is generally good for a practical range of parameters.
