Media Access Control - Common Multiple Access Protocols

Common Multiple Access Protocols

Examples of common packet mode multiple access protocols for wired multi-drop networks are:

  • CSMA/CD (used in Ethernet and IEEE 802.3)
  • Token bus (IEEE 802.4)
  • Token ring (IEEE 802.5)
  • Token passing (used in FDDI)

Examples of common multiple access protocols that may be used in packet radio wireless networks are:

  • CSMA/CA (used in IEEE 802.11/WiFi WLANs)
  • Slotted ALOHA
  • Dynamic TDMA
  • Reservation ALOHA (R-ALOHA)
  • Mobile Slotted Aloha (MS-ALOHA)
  • CDMA
  • OFDMA

Famous quotes containing the words common, multiple and/or access:

    There are ... two minimum conditions necessary and sufficient for the existence of a legal system. On the one hand those rules of behavior which are valid according to the system’s ultimate criteria of validity must be generally obeyed, and on the other hand, its rules of recognition specifying the criteria of legal validity and its rules of change and adjudication must be effectively accepted as common public standards of official behavior by its officials.
    —H.L.A. (Herbert Lionel Adolphus)

    Creativity seems to emerge from multiple experiences, coupled with a well-supported development of personal resources, including a sense of freedom to venture beyond the known.
    Loris Malaguzzi (20th century)

    The nature of women’s oppression is unique: women are oppressed as women, regardless of class or race; some women have access to significant wealth, but that wealth does not signify power; women are to be found everywhere, but own or control no appreciable territory; women live with those who oppress them, sleep with them, have their children—we are tangled, hopelessly it seems, in the gut of the machinery and way of life which is ruinous to us.
    Andrea Dworkin (b. 1946)
