Read section 6.2.6, "Deterministic Medium Access Control algorithms," on pages 226-228. Some applications are sensitive to the time delay of transmissions. Deterministic Medium Access Control algorithms have been used to resolve this problem. Explore this section to see some of the deterministic algorithms.
