Understanding Pure Aloha Data Transmission

The main characteristic of Pure Aloha is that stations can transmit data at any time whenever they want.

The two possible cases are: 1) Transmitting station receives an acknowledgement from the receiving station, indicating a successful transmission. 2) Transmitting station does not receive any acknowledgement within a specified time, indicating an unsuccessful transmission.

If the transmitting station does not receive an acknowledgement within a specified time, it uses a Back Off Strategy and waits for some random amount of time before retransmitting the data packet.
