Study Notes

ALOHA Protocols

  • In pure ALOHA, the average transmission time for a frame is Tfr, and the average number of frames generated by the system during one frame transmission time is G.
  • The maximum throughput (Smax) of pure ALOHA is 0.184, occurring at G=0.5, which corresponds to a total arrival rate of one frame per vulnerable period.
  • The throughput (S) for pure ALOHA is S = G × e^(-2G), with a maximum throughput Smax = 0.184 when G=0.5.

Slotted ALOHA

  • Slotted ALOHA was invented to improve the efficiency of pure ALOHA.
  • The throughput for slotted ALOHA is S = G × e^(-G), with a maximum throughput Smax = 0.368 when G=1.
  • The vulnerable time for slotted ALOHA is Tfr.

Carrier Sense Multiple Access (CSMA)

  • CSMA avoids transmissions that are definite to cause collisions by sensing the medium for the presence of another transmission before starting its own transmission.
  • The vulnerable time for CSMA is the maximum propagation time.
  • The longer the propagation delay, the worse the performance of the protocol.

Types of CSMA Protocols

  • Non-Persistent CSMA, 1-Persistent CSMA, and other protocols determine what a station should do when the medium is idle or busy.
  • A station that has data can transmit at any time, but after transmitting a frame, it waits for an acknowledgment for an amount of time equal to the maximum round-trip propagation delay.
