  2. Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance for Wireless

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_Access_with...

    Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance for Wireless (MACAW) [1] is a slotted medium access control (MAC) protocol widely used in ad hoc networks. [2] Furthermore, it is the foundation of many other MAC protocols used in wireless sensor networks (WSN). [2] The IEEE 802.11 RTS/CTS mechanism is adopted from this protocol.

    Multiple access with collision avoidance (MACA) is a slotted media access control protocol used in wireless LAN data transmission to avoid collisions caused by the hidden station problem and to simplify exposed station problem.

  4. Medium access control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medium_access_control

    In IEEE 802 LAN/MAN standards, the medium access control (MAC), also called media access control, is the layer that controls the hardware responsible for interaction with the wired (electrical or optical) or wireless transmission medium. The MAC sublayer and the logical link control (LLC) sublayer together make up the data link layer.

  5. Channel access method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channel_access_method

    In telecommunications and computer networks, a channel access method or multiple access method allows more than two terminals connected to the same transmission medium to transmit over it and to share its capacity. [1] Examples of shared physical media are wireless networks, bus networks, ring networks and point-to-point links operating in half ...

  6. Wireless ad hoc network - Wikipedia

    The challenges [43] [1] affecting MANETs span from various layers of the OSI protocol stack. The media access layer (MAC) has to be improved to resolve collisions and hidden terminal problems. The network layer routing protocol has to be improved to resolve dynamically changing network topologies and broken routes.

  7. Contention (telecommunications) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contention...

    In carrier detection, computers continue to listen to the network as they transmit. If computer detects another signal that interferes with the signal it is sending, it stops transmitting. Both computers then wait for a random amount of time and attempt to transmit. Contention methods are most popular media access control method on LANs. [1]

    Most email software and applications have an account settings menu where you'll need to update the IMAP or POP3 settings. When entering your account info, make sure you use your full email address, including @aol.com, and that the SSL encryption is enabled for incoming and outgoing mail.

  9. Exposed node problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exposed_node_problem

    In wireless networks, the exposed node problem occurs when a node is prevented from sending packets to other nodes because of co-channel interference with a neighboring transmitter.
