12-112-1 RANDOM ACCESSRANDOM ACCESS

In In random accessrandom access oror contentioncontention methods, no station ismethods, no station is superior to another station and none is assigned the superior to another station and none is assigned the control over another. No station permits, or does not control over another. No station permits, or does not permit, another station to send. At each instance, a permit, another station to send. At each instance, a station that has data to send uses a procedure defined station that has data to send uses a procedure defined by the protocol to make a decision on whether or not to by the protocol to make a decision on whether or not to send. send.

The throughput for pure ALOHA is

S = G × e

−2G

The maximum throughput

S

max

= 0.184 when G= (1/2).

Note

The throughput for slotted ALOHA is

S = G × e

−G

The maximum throughput

In CSMA/CA, the IFS can also be used to

define the priority of a station or a

frame.
