Pure Aloha and Slotted Aloha
In wireless networks, pure aloha and slotted aloha are two medium access control (MAC) protocols designed to prevent data collisions. These protocols are essential for ensuring efficient and reliable data transmission in environments where multiple devices share a common wireless channel.
Pure Aloha
Pure aloha is a simple MAC protocol that allows devices to transmit data at any time, regardless of the channel's current status. When a device has data to send, it simply broadcasts it over the channel. However, if two or more devices transmit simultaneously, their data will collide, resulting in lost packets.
Pros of Pure Aloha | Cons of Pure Aloha |
---|---|
Simple to implement | High probability of collisions |
No need for synchronization | Low channel utilization |
Suitable for low-traffic networks | Not suitable for high-traffic networks |
Slotted Aloha
Slotted aloha is a variation of pure aloha that improves efficiency by dividing the time into fixed-size slots. Devices are only allowed to transmit data at the beginning of a slot. This reduces the probability of collisions, as devices must wait for a slot to become available before transmitting.
Pros of Slotted Aloha | Cons of Slotted Aloha |
---|---|
Lower probability of collisions | Requires synchronization |
Improved channel utilization | Can lead to higher latency |
Suitable for medium-traffic networks | Not suitable for low-traffic networks |
