Aloha
(From the Hawaiian greeting) A system of
contention resolution devised at The University of Hawaii.
Packets are broadcast when ready, the sender listens to
see if they collide and if so re-transmits after a random
time. Slotted Aloha constrains packets to start at the
beginning of a time slot. Basic Aloha is appropriate to long
propagation time nets (e.g. satellite). For shorter
propagation times, carrier sense protocols are possible.
