Q. ____________ assigns a unique number to each IP network adapter called the MAC address.

View solution

Q. In ________ each station sends a frame whenever it has a frame to send.

View solution

Q. In pure ALOHA, the vulnerable time is ______ the frame transmission time.

View solution

Q. The maximum throughput for pure ALOHA is ________ per cent.

View solution

Q. In __________, each station is forced to send only at the beginning of the time slot.

View solution

Q. In slotted ALOHA, the vulnerable time is ______ the frame transmission time.

View solution

Q. The maximum throughput for slotted ALOHA is ________ per cent.

View solution

Q. The vulnerable time for CSMA is the ________propagation time.

View solution

Q. In the _________ method, after the station finds the line idle, it sends its frame immediately. If the line is not idle, it continuously senses the line until it finds it idle.

View solution

Q. In the ________method, a station that has a frame to send senses the line. If the line is idle, it sends immediately. If the line is not idle, it waits a random amount of time and then senses the line again.

View solution

Q. In the _______method, after the station finds the line idle it sends or refrain from sending based on the outcome of a random number generator. If the line is busy, it tries again.

View solution

Q. We have categorized access methods into _______ groups.

View solution

Q. In ___________ methods, no station is superior to another station and none is assigned the control over another.

View solution

Q. In ______, the chance of collision can be reduced if a station senses the medium before trying to use it.

View solution

Q. __________ augments the CSMA algorithm to detect collision.

View solution

Q. In ________, a station monitors the medium after it sends a frame to see if the transmission was successful. If so, the station is finished. If, however, there is a collision, the frame is sent again.

View solution

Q. To avoid collisions on wireless networks, ________was invented.
