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 were none of the small deer up there; they are more common about the settlements. One ran into the city of Bangor two years before, and jumped through a window of costly plate glass, and then into a mirror, where it thought it recognized one of its kind.... This the inhabitants speak of as the deer that went a-shopping.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    ... the generation of the 20’s was truly secular in that it still knew its theology and its varieties of religious experience. We are post-secular, inventing new faiths, without any sense of organizing truths. The truths we accept are so multiple that honesty becomes little more than a strategy by which you manage your tendencies toward duplicity.
    Ann Douglas (b. 1942)

    A girl must allow others to share the responsibility for care, thus enabling others to care for her. She must learn how to care in ways appropriate to her age, her desires, and her needs; she then acts with authenticity. She must be allowed the freedom not to care; she then has access to a wide range of feelings and is able to care more fully.
    Jeanne Elium (20th century)
