Medium Access Control: Stochastic Methods - ALOHA
In this lesson, we'll study ALOHANet!
We'll cover the following...
Stochastic or Optimistic MAC algorithms assume that collisions are part of the normal operation of a Local Area Network. They aim to minimize the number of collisions, but they don’t try to avoid all collisions.
Stochastic algorithms are usually easier to implement than deterministic ones.
