MAC Types
• 1- persistent CSMA
- When a station has frames to transmit, it first listens to the
channel, if the channel is idle, the frame is sent
- If the channel is busy, the station waits and transmit its frame
as soon as the channel is idle
- If a collision occurs, the stations waits a random amount of
time and starts all over again
- The station transmits with a probability of 1 whenever it finds
the channel idle
