Rn. Chakraborty et al., RELIABILITY ENHANCEMENT BY THE REVERSAL OF TOKEN FOR A BASIC TOKEN RING IN THE CASE OF A SINGLE-COMPONENT FAILURE, Microelectronics and reliability, 34(2), 1994, pp. 283-288
The inherent functional property of the unidirectional token movement
in a token ring network, is modified in this paper and an algorithm is
presented that enables the continuity of operation, in case of a sing
le link component failure, thereby improving the system reliability of
a basic conventional token ring network. This phase contributes to th
e continuity in operation until the maintenance restores the normal ri
ng configuration.
