Seonglae ChoDesigned to avoid or deal with a collision
Collision occurence means network is busy like Congestion Control
Most of algorithms are distributed algorithm and some of are centralized
Three broad classes
- Channel partitioning
- random access - wifi
- taking turns
ALOHA → Slotted ALOH → CSMA
Multiple access protocols
Channel partitioning protocols
Channel access method
In telecommunications and computer networks, a channel access method or multiple access method allows more than two terminals connected to the same transmission medium to transmit over it and to share its capacity.[1] Examples of shared physical media are wireless networks, bus networks, ring networks and point-to-point links operating in half-duplex mode.
