    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.
