Study Notes
Introduction to Access Methods
- Nodes connected via a multipoint link experience challenges in access control to prevent packet collisions.
- Access methods or protocols coordinate access to the shared medium.
Multiple Access Methods
- Multiple access methods are necessary for efficient link usage among connected nodes.
Random Access Methods
- All nodes have equal access rights with no superior control.
- Carrier Sense Multiple Access (CSMA) is a key random access method designed to minimize collision chances.
- CSMA operates on the principle of "listen before talk," where stations check the medium before transmitting.
- Although CSMA reduces collision risks, it cannot completely eliminate them.
CSMA Strategies
-
1-Persistent Strategy:
- If the line is idle, the station transmits immediately, risking collisions due to simultaneous transmissions.
-
Nonpersistent Strategy:
- If the line is busy, the station waits a random time before re-sensing, which lowers collision chances but can reduce overall efficiency.
-
p-Persistent Strategy:
- Combines benefits of other strategies, allowing stations to wait a set probability before transmitting to balance efficiency and collision risk.
CSMA/CD (Collision Detection)
- Monitors energy levels to detect collisions:
- Zero: Channel is idle
- Normal: Station is successfully sending data
- Abnormal: Collision detected with energy readings exceeding normal levels.
Controlled Access Methods
- Stations must consult to determine which has the right to send data, preventing unauthorized transmissions.
- Key controlled access methods include reservation, polling, and token passing.
Polling
- Centralized method where one primary station controls communication with secondary stations.
- Select Mode: Primary sends data to a secondary station.
- Poll Mode: Primary station requests data from secondary stations.
Token Passing
- Stations are arranged in a logical ring where each has a predecessor and successor.
- A special packet called a token circulates; a station must wait for the token to transmit data.
- After transmission, the token is released for the next station, ensuring orderly access to the medium.
