Abstract

Local area network bandwidth is partitioned into periodic data frames. Data frames are further segregated into spectrum and time slots. Bandwidth reserved by assigning spectrum and time slots to particular circuit connections; enabling deterministic data transfer from source to destination nodes. Bandwidth reservations are broadcast to nodes attached to network.
