  • Fault diagnosis in a fully distributed local computer network

    Creator:
    Kwag, Hye Keun
    Abstract:
    Local computer networks are being installed in diverse application areas. Many of the networks employ a distributed control scheme, which has advantages in performance and reliability over a centralized one. However, distribution of control increases the difficulty in locating faulty hardware elements. Consequently, advantages may not be fully realized unless...

  • Hybrid-Meshnet, a local area mesh network with distributed control

    Creator:
    Kang, Cheoul Shin
    Abstract:
    Hybrid-Meshnet is a communication subnet architecture for local area networks (LANs) designed to achieve a high degree of network performance and flexibility. These objectives are achieved by utilizing a dual channel structure. A token ring is used for short or prioritized data transmissions. A complimentary mesh network with arbitrary data...

  • A simple local area network, COLAN (Control Oriented Local Area Network)

    Creator:
    Zheng, Yuepeng
    Abstract:
    COLAN (Control Oriented Local Area Network ) is a redesign of the Task-Master, a daisy-chain structure distributed control system. COLAN is a simple bus structure communication subnetwork intended for distributed control applications. Low cost and simplicity are two main design criteria. Point-to-point and broadcast communications are possible. A packet switching...

  • A text display node for a control oriented local area network

    Creator:
    Ji, De
    Abstract:
    In recent years, integrated circuit technology has spawned the development of many low cost and high performance microprocessors and microcontrollers. With these devices, there is an increasing interest in the implementation of distributed control networks, utilizing microprocessors in the control nodes. In this work, a low-cost liquid crystal display (LCD)...

  • Concurrent message transmission on short delay ring networks

    Creator:
    Xu, Mingcheng
    Abstract:
    Two new medium access protocols for ring type local area networks, CTR (Concurrent Token Ring) protocol and DRUID (Destination Removal withoUt Intermediate node Delay) ring protocol, are proposed, designed and analyzed. A destination partial removal technique is designed and used in these two protocols to support concurrent message transmission and...

  • EDLAN, an educational local area network

    Creator:
    Yu, Hua
    Abstract:
    EDLAN is a simple, inexpensive local area network suitable for educational applications. In EDLAN, a number of personal computers are connected through an RS-485 global bus which carries the data transmission among the computers. CSMA/CD protocol is used to control the access of the global bus. The communications are controlled...
