What happens to stations when a collision is detected after transmission?
What happens to stations when a collision is detected after transmission?
- They stop transmitting data immediately and send a jamming signal (correct)
- They switch to a different transmission frequency
- They continue transmitting data at a slower rate
- They abort the transmission process and shut down
