Abstract
Slot reuse is a simple method to improve the efficiency of MACs designed for the slotted, Dual Bus configuration. In this paper we propose several schemes for the assignment of throughput to stations in this configuration, taking into account slot reuse and assuming uniform traffic. The criteria for comparison of the schemes are throughput gain, worst message queueing and access delays at stations and the fraction of blocked messages. It turns out that the throughput gain in the scheme in which every station receives the same throughput is relatively low but it is the most attractive scheme is relation to the other criteria.
