Detailed explanation-1: -Random Access: In random access or contention methods, no station is superior to another station and none is assigned the control over another. No station permits, or does not permit, another station to send.
Detailed explanation-2: -ALOHA Random Access Protocol. It is designed for wireless LAN (Local Area Network) but can also be used in a shared medium to transmit data. Using this method, any station can transmit data across a network simultaneously when a data frameset is available for transmission.
Detailed explanation-3: -Random Access Protocols help to manage this chaos by dividing the channel into time slots or packets of data. It is a Multiple access protocol that is divided into four categories which are ALOHA, CSMA, CSMA/CD, and CSMA/CA. In this article, we will cover all of these Random Access Protocols in detail.
Detailed explanation-4: -A. CSMA/CD (carrier sense multiple access with collision detection) allows random-access because it does not depend on a clock, rather it depends on observing the current network status prior to transmitting.
