New Multipriority and Variable Duration Triple Time Slot P-CSMA Protocol for Edge Servers Server Deployment

Abstract

In this paper, we study the joint impact of task priority and transmission time slot variable computing services on a novel p-persistent random multiple access communication protocol (p-persistent CSMA) in an edge server network. The traditional p-persistent CSMA protocol performs better at low loads, and in order to make the protocol perform better even when the edge server network is accessed by a large number of smart terminals, we consider adding a variable success time slot length and a multichannel, multipriority access model. When the success time slot is longer, the nodes will take longer time to send data, which will reduce the number of nodes retransmitting data, thus improving channel utilization and making the throughput rate of the network increase accordingly. Then, different priority levels are assigned according to the user’s needs, and the higher the priority level, the more channels are occupied and the probability of successful message delivery increases. Finally, the superiority of the proposed protocol is verified by simulation.
