ALOHAnet

ALOHAnet, also known as the ALOHA System, or simply ALOHA, was a pioneering computer networking system developed at the University of Hawaii.

Building

A building, or edifice, is a structure with a roof and walls standing more or less permanently in one place, such as a house or factory.

Carrier-sense multiple access

Carrier-sense multiple access (CSMA) is a media access control (MAC) protocol in which a node verifies the absence of other traffic before transmitting on a shared transmission medium, such as an electrical bus or a band of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Channel access method

In telecommunications and computer networks, a channel access method or multiple access method allows several terminals connected to the same multi-point transmission medium to transmit over it and to share its capacity.

Collision (telecommunications)

A collision is the situation that occurs when two or more demands are made simultaneously on equipment that can handle only one at any given instant.

Communication channel

A communication channel or simply channel refers either to a physical transmission medium such as a wire, or to a logical connection over a multiplexed medium such as a radio channel in telecommunications and computer networking.

Contention free pollable

Contention-free pollable (CF-Pollable) is a state of operation for wireless networking nodes.

Contention ratio

In computer networking, the contention ratio is the ratio of the potential maximum demand to the actual bandwidth.

Data

Data is a set of values of qualitative or quantitative variables.

Duplex (telecommunications)

A duplex communication system is a point-to-point system composed of two or more connected parties or devices that can communicate with one another in both directions.

Forward error correction

In telecommunication, information theory, and coding theory, forward error correction (FEC) or channel coding is a technique used for controlling errors in data transmission over unreliable or noisy communication channels.

Master station

In telecommunication, a master station is a station that controls or coordinates the activities of other stations in the system.

Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance

Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance (MACA) is a slotted media access control protocol used in wireless LAN data transmission to avoid collisions caused by the hidden station problem and to simplify exposed station problem.

Statistical time-division multiplexing

Statistical multiplexing is a type of communication link sharing, very similar to dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA).

Telecommunication

Telecommunication is the transmission of signs, signals, messages, words, writings, images and sounds or information of any nature by wire, radio, optical or other electromagnetic systems.

Time

Time is the indefinite continued progress of existence and events that occur in apparently irreversible succession from the past through the present to the future.
