  2. Carrier-sense multiple access with collision avoidance

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

    Carrier-sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) in computer networking, is a network multiple access method in which carrier sensing is used, but nodes attempt to avoid collisions by beginning transmission only after the channel is sensed to be "idle". [1] [2] When they do transmit, nodes transmit their packet data in its entirety.

  3. Cable locator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_locator

    A cable locator or cable avoidance tool (CAT) is an instrument used for detecting the presence and approximate location of buried services in advance of undertaking excavation works. It aims to avoid accidents while excavating. [ 1 ]

  4. 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 ...

  5. Carrier-sense multiple access - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier-sense_multiple_access

    Carrier-sense multiple access (CSMA) is a medium access control (MAC) protocol in which a node verifies the absence of other traffic before transmitting on a shared transmission medium, such as an electrical bus or a band of the electromagnetic spectrum.

  6. Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance for Wireless

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

    Node D is unaware of the ongoing data transfer between node A and node B. Node D has data to send to node C, which is in the transmission range of node B. D initiates the process by sending an RTS frame to node C. Node C has already deferred its transmission until the completion of the current data transfer between node A and node B (to avoid co-channel interference at node B).

  7. Frequency-hopping spread spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency-hopping_spread...

    Using frequency hopping and sweep modes, Zinn's method is primarily applied in low data rate wireless applications such as utility metering, machine and equipment monitoring and metering, and remote control. In 2006 Zinn received U.S. patent 6,996,399 for his "Wireless device and method using frequency hopping and sweep modes."

  8. 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 ...

  9. PHY-Level Collision Avoidance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHY-Level_Collision_Avoidance

    The picture contains two oscilloscope-like traces with beacons in green and data frame in yellow. The top trace depicts the absence of traffic, beacons are sent by the master at fixed intervals. The bottom trace shows the situation when the node with an ID 11 uses its transmission opportunity (TO, TOs are marked using the grid scale).
