Abstract
This paper proves that the temporal constraints for digital video transmission can be met by the synchronous transmission mode of the FDDI token ring protocol. First, we introduce the FDDI protocol. Second, we establish the temporal constraints for real time image transmission. Then we propose a technique based on an optimal use of emitter and receiver image buffers, and an optimal constituting of transmission units. Finally, we verify that the temporal constraints are fulfilled by the FDDI protocol and the proposed technique. This technique requires only an optimal allocation of the exact bandwidth needed by the image transmission. Moreover, image sample blocking enables larger TTRT to be used, and thus, reduces the overhead induced by the token rotation. We also prove that the proposed technique produces a minimal and constant delay equal to 2*TTRT plus the physical response time of the network, in spite of the aperiodic delivery of the image samples due to the access method of the FDDI protocol.
