Abstract
Techniques for transmitting data packets on a shared channel in a data communications network include storing, on a local node, a current number of turns in a transmitting queue and a current turn based on packets received from other nodes on the channel. For a first local data packet to transmit, a local transmit turn is obtained based on successfully transmitting the packet in a time interval following a last turn in the queue. A data link layer header includes queue fields for the current number of turns, the local transmit turn, and a request for adding the local transmit turn. While there is still a remaining packet to transmit and when the current turn is the local transmit turn, the packet is transmitted with queue fields indicating the current number of turns, the current turn, and an indication of no new turn. An acknowledgement control packet indicates successful transmission.
