Chapter 6Optimisation of CRA using adaptive CSAs pthroughput. This makes the Forced-CSA the optimal slot allocator for different trafficconfigurations.6.3 Dynamics of the DVB Contention Resolution AlgorithmsIn this section, we pay attention to the details of the exponential backoff algorithm andthe splitting tree algorithm adopted by the DVB/DAVIC communications protocol.6.3.1 Exponential backoff algorithm optimisationFor CATV networks that make use of the exponential backoff algorithm, theperformance of such networks is also determined by the initial and truncated backoffvalues defined (also referred to as backoff window: Bw[i-t]). Thus, the aim of thissection is to provide a performance analysis for different backoff windows and toindicate which windows offer the highest system performance. Two trafficconfigurations (mixed traffic and VoIP traffic) will be used.In order to achieve optimum system performance, the Forced-CSA (introduced inSection 6.2.3.1) will be utilised. With the exception of the minimum and maximumbackoff values, for this analysis we have used the same simulation parameters presentedin Table 5.4 (Chapter 5).6-17
