|
* Abstract:
|
|
* This is the interface file for the RandomChannelGenerator class. This
|
|
* class inherits from the RandomNumberGenerator class. On instantiation,
|
|
* instances of this class will internally generate a random number which
|
|
* falls within the allowable range of dynamic channel values. Channel
|
|
* assignments are then generated by incrementing this value each time a
|
|
* new assignment is requested. Once the maximum allowable value has been
|
|
* assigned, the next value to be generated "wraps around" to the minimum
|
|
* allowable value.
|
|
*
|
|
* Obviously, this class does not generate completely random channel
|
|
* values for each request. With a completely random generator, it is
|
|
* possible to delete a channel in MCS, and then have the random number
|
|
* generator assign the same value as the deleted channel before all
|
|
* components of the system even know that the channel was deleted to
|
|
* start with, thus causing erratic behavior in the system. In this
|
|
* class, no channel can be reassigned until all other possible channels
|
|
* have been assigned.
|
|
*
|
|
* This class can be modifed in the future to incorporate additional
|
|
* "randomness" into the algorithm and still not reassign any channel
|
|
* numbers before all other possible values are used. This, however,
|
|
* would be at the expense of performance and/or memory resources.
|
|
*
|
|
* Caveats:
|
|
* None.
