The Wireless Token Ring Protocol (WTRP) is a medium access control protocol for wireless networks in mission critical systems. It supports quality of service in terms of bounded latency and reserved bandwidth. The token passing defines the transmission order, and each token is forced to give up the token after a specified amount of time.Each ring has unique ring id based on unique MAC address of one of the stations of the ring. (The station is called the owner of the ring). When owner leaves the ring, another station elects itself to be the owner of the ring.

Connectivity TableEach node builds and updates connectivity table that contains information of all stations in its reception range, and transmission order of the nodes in its ring

Unique Priority of TokenBased on ring address and generation sequence number pair.Station only accept token that has higher priority than the last token that the station has accepted.

Implicit ACKACK is thought to be received when the successor initiates a transmission or token.

Descriptions (Operations)
Joining: Stations periodically invite other nodes to join the ring by broadcasting the available resources left in the medium
Leaving: When B wants to leave, it requests A to connect to its successor, C. If A does not have connection with C, then it connects to the next node in terms of the transmission order of the ring.

ConclusionsThe wireless token ring protocol (WTRP) is a medium access control protocol for wireless networks in mission critical systems. It supports quality of service in terms of bounded latency and reserved bandwidth. WTRP is efficient in the sense that it reduces the number of retransmissions due to collisions. It is fair in the sense that each station takes a turn to transmit and is forced to give up the right to transmit after transmitting for a specified amount of time. It is a distributed protocol that supports many topologies since not all stations need to be connected to each other or to a central station. It can be used with an admission control agent for bandwidth or latency reservations. WTRP is robust against single node failure. WTRP is designed to recover gracefully from multiple simultaneous faults.
