Abstract	Expressnet is a local area communication network comprising an inbound channel and an outbound channel to which the stations are connected. Stations transmit on the outbound channel and receive on the inbound channel. The inbound channel is connected to the outbound channel so that all signals transmitted on the outbound channel are duplicated on the inbound channel, thus achieving broadcast communication among the stations. In order to transmit on the bus, the stations utilize a distributed access protocol which achieves a conflict-free round-robin scheduling. This protocol is more efficient than existing round-robin Schemes as the time required to switch control from one active user to the next in a round is minimized (on the order of a carrier detection time), and is independent of the end-to-end network propagation delay. This improvement is particularly significant when the channel data rate is so high, or the end-to-end propagation delay is so large, Or the packet size is so small as to render the end-to-end propagation delay a significant fraction of, or larger than, the transmission time of a packet. Moreover, some features of Expressnet make it particularly suitable for voice applications. In view of integrating voice and data, a simple access protocol is described which meets the bandwidth requirement and maximum packet delay constraint for voice communication at all times, while guaranteeing a minimum bandwidth requirement for data traffic. Finally, it is noted that the voice/data access protocol constitutes a highly adaptive allocation scheme of channel bandwidth, which allows data users to recover the bandwidth unused by the voice application. It can be easily extended to accommodate any number of applications, each with its specific requirements.
