Channel partitioning protocols divide the channel into smaller "pieces" and allocate them to nodes for exclusive use. Which of the following is not a channel partitioning technique?

…. algorithm that determines how nodes share channel

Random access protocols do not divide the channel and allow collisions to occur. Which of the following is a random access protocol?

Taking-turns protocols involve nodes taking turns, with nodes that have more to send taking longer turns. Which of the following is an example of a taking-turns protocol?

communication about channel sharing must use channel itself! • no out-of-band channel for
coordination

In channel partitioning protocols, which of the following "pieces" is used to allocate the channel to nodes for exclusive use?

allocate piece to node for exclusive use

Which protocol allows collisions to occur and "recovers" from them?

The protocol is decentralized that mean

FDMA

TDMA

each station assigned fixed frequency band

Which technique divides time into time rounds and assigns each time slot to one of the nodes?

two or more transmitting nodes: "collision"

What is the advantage of TDM?

random access MAC protocol specifies

In FDM, how is the channel divided among nodes?

CSMA - CSMA/CD - ALOHA

What is the disadvantage of both TDM and FDM?

Which random access protocol uses equal-sized slots and assumes synchronized nodes?

nodes start to transmit only at slot beginning
