heal.abstract	It is known that random multiple-access protocols present instability problems. The authors consider an approach that provides for stability and is of an adaptive nature. The basic idea is to alternate CSMA(/CD) and reservation TDMA periods. The operation of the CSMA(/CD) protocol is interrupted once in a while so that a reservation TDMA epoch can start. Several criteria which may be used to define switching rules from CSMA(/CD) periods to reservation TDMA periods are also examined. In this way, a range of mixed adaptive protocols can be constructed. Analytical models for their description are presented, and the performance of different protocol families is compared with that of the pure CSMA(/CD) and reservation TDMA. Due to their adaptive properties, the proposed protocols present very good throughput-delay characteristics, that is, they exhibit low access time and high channel utilization.	en
