  2. Carrier-sense multiple access with collision detection

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier-sense_multiple...

    CSMA/CD is used to improve CSMA performance by terminating transmission as soon as a collision is detected, thus shortening the time required before a retry can be attempted. With the growing popularity of Ethernet switches in the 1990s, IEEE 802.3 deprecated Ethernet repeaters in 2011, [2] making CSMA/CD and half-duplex operation less common ...

  3. Carrier-sense multiple access with collision avoidance

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier-sense_multiple...

    It is particularly important for wireless networks, where the alternative with collision detection CSMA/CD, is not possible due to wireless transmitters desensing (turning off) their receivers during packet transmission. CSMA/CA is unreliable due to the hidden node problem. [3] [4] CSMA/CA is a protocol that operates in the data link layer.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier-sense_multiple...

    In computer networking, carrier-sense multiple access with collision avoidance and resolution using priorities (CSMA/CARP) is a channel access method.CSMA/CARP is similar in nature to the carrier-sense multiple access with collision detection (CSMA/CD) channel access method used in Ethernet networks, but CSMA/CARP provides no detection of network collisions.

  5. Exponential backoff - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_backoff

    For example, if the ceiling is set at i = 10 in a truncated binary exponential backoff algorithm, (as it is in the IEEE 802.3 CSMA/CD standard [14]), then the maximum delay is 1023 slot times, i.e. 2 10 − 1. Selecting an appropriate backoff limit for a system involves striking a balance between collision probability and latency.

  6. Layers of protection analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Layers_of_protection_analysis

    Layers of protection analysis (LOPA) is a technique for evaluating the hazards, risks and layers of protection associated with a system, such as a chemical process plant. In terms of complexity and rigour LOPA lies between qualitative techniques such as hazard and operability studies (HAZOP) and quantitative techniques such as fault trees and ...

    A variable-rate CD — also called a flex CD — is a type of certificate of deposit with an interest rate that can fluctuate periodically over the term of the CD based on market conditions.

  8. Time-division multiple access - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-division_multiple_access

    It allows several users to share the same frequency channel by dividing the signal into different time slots. [1] The users transmit in rapid succession, one after the other, each using its own time slot. This allows multiple stations to share the same transmission medium (e.g. radio frequency channel) while using only a part of its channel ...
