1. An interconnect system for processing data at the lowest Medium Access Control (MAC) layer in a protocol stack, comprising a Distributed Queue Switch Architecture (DQSA) for application wherein a Distributed Queue Wireless Arbiter (DQWA) specification is processed in a network comprising:

  • a. a plurality of devices;

    b. a first device of the plurality of devices is configured to provide data to a second device of the plurality of devices, and implementing a DQSA Medium Access Control;

    c. the first device of the plurality of device further comprising;

    i. A DQWA Common Terms;

    ii. A Transmission Sequence describing the complete sequence of the standard periodic transmission that occurs within a Distributed Queue Service Set (DQSS);

    iii. said DQSS Packet Segments are comprised of;

    1. A Packet Segment Pre-header;

    2. An optional Management Information Sub-Header and Directives;

    3. An optional Frame Data Payload section;

    4. A Packet Check Sequence (PCS);

    5. A Short inter-frame space (SIFS) between each Packet Segment;

    iv. said DQSS operates in one of three operational modes;

    1. Static Association Mode;

    2. Semi-Manual Association Mode;

    or3. Promiscuous Mode;

    v. said DQSS, when configured to be in Semi-Manual Mode has all of the capabilities of a Static Association Mode DQSS and the additional ability to add nodes in real time, and where a confirmation of inclusion may require an explicit action from an external source; and

    vi. said DQSS Semi-Manual Association Mode, wherein no operator intervention is required except for the case of an operator explicitly desiring to exclude a node from the DQSS.
