Random Access protocols A node transmits at random at full channel data rate R. If two or more nodes “collide”, they retransmit at random times The random access MAC protocol specifies how to detect collisions and how to recover from them (via delayed retransmissions, for example) Examples of random access MAC protocols SLOTTED ALOHA ALOHA CSMA and CSMA/CD Slotted Aloha Time is divided into equal size slots (= sending one frame) a newly arriving station transmits at the beginning of the next slot if collision occurs (assume channel feedback, eg the receiver informs the source of a collision),
