ABSTRACT
The paper illustrates an application of knowledge based system design concepts to design of local area networks. A system entity structure representation of a local area network (LAN) is developed. This representation unifies a variety of possibilities for LAN design architecture. In a design session, the LAN design domain is subsequently restricted by pruning the entity structure with respect to network design objectives. A LAN model is then synthesized using a production rule scheme. The benefit of the knowledge-based LAN design is briefly discussed.

A novel contention-based MAC protocol with channel reservation for wireless LANs
In this paper, we present a novel contention-based medium access control (MAC) protocol, namely, the Channel Reservation MAC (CR-MAC) protocol. The CR-MAC protocol takes advantage of the overhearing feature of the shared wireless channel to exchange ...
Contention-based airtime usage control in multirate IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs
In a multirate wireless LAN, wireless/mobile stations usually adapt their transmission rates to the channel condition. It is difficult to control each station's usage of network resources since the shared channel can be overused by low transmission-rate ...
Entity Structure Based Design Methodology: A LAN Protocol Example
An application of the system entity structure is illustrated: a frame-like knowledge representation scheme is used to design local area networks (LANs). An entity structure for a data-link-layer protocol that illustrates many possible applications is ...
