Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
standards support which type of communication path sharing technology?
A
CSMA/CD
B
CSMA/CA
C
Token-passing
D
Polling
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -802.11x standards for wireless networking all support the CSMA/CA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Avoidance) type of communication path-sharing technology.

Detailed explanation-2: -802.11 standards use the Ethernet protocol and CSMA/CA (carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance) for path sharing.

Detailed explanation-3: -Carrier sense multiple access/collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) is a protocol for carrier transmission in 802.11 networks. It was developed to minimize the potential of a collision occurring when two or more stations send their signals over a data link layer.

Detailed explanation-4: -CSMA/CA is generally used in wireless networks. CSMA/CD is generally used in wired networks. CSMA/CA minimizes the risk of collision. CSMA/CD reduces the recovery time.

Detailed explanation-5: -802.11ac uses wider bandwidth, MU-MIMO and beamforming technology to improve wireless speed and coverage.
