The Randomly Addressed Polling (RAP) protocol together with the generalized Multi-layer Collision Resolution (MCR) protocol have been proposed and demonstrated as efficient, flexible and robust MAC protocols over the wireless network. In this paper, we present a comprehensive study on the adaptive control schemes and the stability issues of this family of protocols over some centralized controlled network topologies, such as wireless, CATV (Cable Television), HFC (Hybrid Fiber/Coaxial), and even satellite networks. Under the assumption of infinite number of stations, we show that the proposed adaptive algorithm actually helps in stabilizing this family of protocols, and we also show that each packet only experiences finite delay when the adaptive control scheme is employed.
