The Wireless Token Ring Protocol (WTRP) is a medium access control protocol designed for mission critical wireless networks, offering bounded latency and reserved bandwidth. This protocol uses token passing to define the transmission order and each token has a specified time limit. The ring is identified by a unique ring ID based on the MAC address of one of the stations, with the owner station changing when the current owner leaves. WTRP supports operations such as inviting, contending, and passing the token, as well as management functions like ring recovery and token recovery. Berkeley WOW Group at the University of California, Berkeley has developed WTRP and provides user-space and kernel implementations, as well as performance analysis tools.

Introduction • 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. WOW

SET_PRED A A C B F D E 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. WOW
