Multiple Access Links and ProtocolsTwo types of ldquolinksrdquo

point-to-pointPPP for dial-up accesspoint-to-point link between Ethernet switch and host

broadcast (shared wire or medium)Old-fashioned Ethernetupstream HFC80211 wireless LAN

5 DataLink Layer 5-17

Multiple Access protocolssingle shared broadcast channel two or more simultaneous transmissions by nodes interference

collision if node receives two or more signals at the same timemultiple access protocol

distributed algorithm that determines how nodes share channel ie determine when node can transmitcommunication about channel sharing must use channel itself

no out-of-band channel for coordination

5 DataLink Layer 5-18

Ideal Multiple Access Protocol

Broadcast channel of rate R bps1 When only one node wants to transmit it can send

at rate R2 When M nodes want to transmit each can send at

average rate RM3 Fully decentralized

no special node to coordinate transmissionsno synchronization of clocks slots

4 Simple

5 DataLink Layer 5-19

MAC Protocols a taxonomyThree broad classes

Channel Partitioningdivide channel into smaller ldquopiecesrdquo (time slots frequency code)allocate piece to node for exclusive use

Random Accesschannel not divided allow collisionsldquorecoverrdquo from collisions

ldquoTaking turnsrdquoNodes take turns but nodes with more to send can take longer turns

5 DataLink Layer 5-20

Channel Partitioning MAC protocols TDMA

TDMA time division multiple accessaccess to channel in rounds each station gets fixed length slot (length = pkt trans time) in each round unused slots go idle example 6-station LAN 134 have pkt slots 256 idle

Random Access Protocols

When node has packet to sendtransmit at full channel data rate Rno a priori coordination among nodes

two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquorandom access MAC protocol specifies

how to detect collisionshow to recover from collisions (eg via delayed retransmissions)

Examples of random access MAC protocolsslotted ALOHAALOHACSMA CSMACD CSMACA

5 DataLink Layer 5-23

Slotted ALOHA

Assumptionsall frames same sizetime is divided into equal size slots time to transmit 1 framenodes start to transmit frames only at beginning of slotsnodes are synchronizedif 2 or more nodes transmit in slot all nodes detect collision

Operationwhen node obtains fresh frame it transmits in next slotno collision node can send new frame in next slotif collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success

5 DataLink Layer 5-24

Slotted ALOHA

Prossingle active node can continuously transmit at full rate of channelhighly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in syncsimple

Conscollisions wasting slotsidle slotsnodes may be able to detect collision in less than time to transmit packetclock synchronization

5 DataLink Layer 5-25

Slotted Aloha efficiency

Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability pprob that node 1 has success in a slot= p(1-p)N-1

prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1 as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37

Efficiency is the long-run fraction of successful slots when there are many nodes each with many frames to send

At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

5 DataLink Layer 5-26

Pure (unslotted) ALOHAunslotted Aloha simpler no synchronizationwhen frame first arrives

transmit immediately collision probability increases

frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-1t0+1]

5 DataLink Layer 5-27

Pure Aloha efficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)

P(no other node transmits in [t0-1t0] P(no other node transmits in [t0t0+1]

= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1

= p (1-p)2(N-1)

hellip choosing optimum p and then letting n -gt infty

= 1(2e) = 18 Even worse

5 DataLink Layer 5-28

CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)

CSMA listen before transmitIf channel sensed idle transmit entire frame

If channel sensed busy defer transmission

Human analogy donrsquot interrupt others

CSMA collisionscollisions can still occurpropagation delay means two nodes may not heareach otherrsquos transmission

ARP protocol Same LAN (network)

A wants to send datagram to B and Brsquos MAC address not in Arsquos ARP tableA broadcasts ARP query packet containing Bs IP address

Dest MAC address = FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FFall machines on LAN receive ARP query

B receives ARP packet replies to A with its (Bs) MAC address

frame sent to Arsquos MAC address (unicast)

A caches (saves) IP-to-MAC address pair in its ARP table until information becomes old (times out)

Ethernet Frame StructureSending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other

network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one byte with pattern 10101011used to synchronize receiver sender clock rates

5 DataLink Layer 5-51

Ethernet Frame Structure (more)Addresses 6 bytes dest address and 6 bytes source address

if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to net-layer protocolotherwise adapter discards frame

Type 2 bytes indicates the higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others may be supported such as Novell IPX and AppleTalk)CRC 4 btyes checked at receiver if error is detected the frame is simply dropped

Connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving adapter Unreliable receiving adapter doesnrsquot send acks or nacks to sending adapter

5 DataLink Layer 5-54

Ethernet uses CSMACD

No slotsadapter doesnrsquot transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sensetransmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection

Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access

5 DataLink Layer 5-55

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm1 Adaptor receives datagram

from net layer amp creates frame

2 If adapter senses channel idle for 96 bit times it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle for 96 bit times and then transmits

3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame

4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends 48-bit jam signal

5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the n-thcollision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 where m=min(n10) Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2

Suppose A sends a packet at time 0And B sees an idle channel just before t= tpropso B happily starts transmitting a frame

B detects a collision but A doesnrsquot see collision till t=2 tprop

A needs to wait for time 2 tprop to detect collisionSo A should keep transmitting during this periodhellip and keep an eye out for a possible collision

Slotted Aloha efficiency

Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability pprob that node 1 has success in a slot= p(1-p)N-1

prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1 as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37

Efficiency is the long-run fraction of successful slots when there are many nodes each with many frames to send

Ethernet uses CSMACD

No slotsadapter doesnrsquot transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sensetransmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection

Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access

5 DataLink Layer 5-55

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm1 Adaptor receives datagram

from net layer amp creates frame

2 If adapter senses channel idle for 96 bit times it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle for 96 bit times and then transmits

3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame

4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends 48-bit jam signal

5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the n-thcollision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 where m=min(n10) Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2

Assumptionsall frames same sizetime is divided into equal size slots time to transmit 1 framenodes start to transmit frames only at beginning of slotsnodes are synchronizedif 2 or more nodes transmit in slot all nodes detect collision

Operationwhen node obtains fresh frame it transmits in next slotno collision node can send new frame in next slotif collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success

Slotted Aloha efficiency

Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability pprob that node 1 has success in a slot= p(1-p)N-1

prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1 as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37

Efficiency is the long-run fraction of successful slots when there are many nodes each with many frames to send

Ethernet uses CSMACD

No slotsadapter doesnrsquot transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sensetransmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection

Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access

5 DataLink Layer 5-55

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm1 Adaptor receives datagram

from net layer amp creates frame

2 If adapter senses channel idle for 96 bit times it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle for 96 bit times and then transmits

3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame

4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends 48-bit jam signal

5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the n-thcollision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 where m=min(n10) Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2

Slotted ALOHA

Assumptionsall frames same sizetime is divided into equal size slots time to transmit 1 framenodes start to transmit frames only at beginning of slotsnodes are synchronizedif 2 or more nodes transmit in slot all nodes detect collision

Operationwhen node obtains fresh frame it transmits in next slotno collision node can send new frame in next slotif collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success

5 DataLink Layer 5-24

Slotted ALOHA

Prossingle active node can continuously transmit at full rate of channelhighly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in syncsimple

Conscollisions wasting slotsidle slotsnodes may be able to detect collision in less than time to transmit packetclock synchronization

5 DataLink Layer 5-25

Slotted Aloha efficiency

Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability pprob that node 1 has success in a slot= p(1-p)N-1

prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1 as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37

Efficiency is the long-run fraction of successful slots when there are many nodes each with many frames to send

At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

5 DataLink Layer 5-26

Pure (unslotted) ALOHAunslotted Aloha simpler no synchronizationwhen frame first arrives

transmit immediately collision probability increases

frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-1t0+1]

5 DataLink Layer 5-27

Pure Aloha efficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)

P(no other node transmits in [t0-1t0] P(no other node transmits in [t0t0+1]

Slotted ALOHA

Assumptionsall frames same sizetime is divided into equal size slots time to transmit 1 framenodes start to transmit frames only at beginning of slotsnodes are synchronizedif 2 or more nodes transmit in slot all nodes detect collision

Operationwhen node obtains fresh frame it transmits in next slotno collision node can send new frame in next slotif collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success

5 DataLink Layer 5-24

Slotted ALOHA

Prossingle active node can continuously transmit at full rate of channelhighly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in syncsimple

Conscollisions wasting slotsidle slotsnodes may be able to detect collision in less than time to transmit packetclock synchronization

5 DataLink Layer 5-25

Slotted Aloha efficiency

Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability pprob that node 1 has success in a slot= p(1-p)N-1

prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1 as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37

Efficiency is the long-run fraction of successful slots when there are many nodes each with many frames to send

At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

5 DataLink Layer 5-26

Pure (unslotted) ALOHAunslotted Aloha simpler no synchronizationwhen frame first arrives

transmit immediately collision probability increases

frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-1t0+1]

5 DataLink Layer 5-27

Pure Aloha efficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)

Examples of random access MAC protocolsslotted ALOHAALOHACSMA CSMACD CSMACA

5 DataLink Layer 5-23

Slotted ALOHA

Assumptionsall frames same sizetime is divided into equal size slots time to transmit 1 framenodes start to transmit frames only at beginning of slotsnodes are synchronizedif 2 or more nodes transmit in slot all nodes detect collision

Operationwhen node obtains fresh frame it transmits in next slotno collision node can send new frame in next slotif collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success

5 DataLink Layer 5-24

Slotted ALOHA

Prossingle active node can continuously transmit at full rate of channelhighly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in syncsimple

Conscollisions wasting slotsidle slotsnodes may be able to detect collision in less than time to transmit packetclock synchronization

5 DataLink Layer 5-25

Slotted Aloha efficiency

Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability pprob that node 1 has success in a slot= p(1-p)N-1

prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1 as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37

Efficiency is the long-run fraction of successful slots when there are many nodes each with many frames to send

At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

5 DataLink Layer 5-26

Pure (unslotted) ALOHAunslotted Aloha simpler no synchronizationwhen frame first arrives

transmit immediately collision probability increases

frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-1t0+1]

5 DataLink Layer 5-27

Pure Aloha efficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)

P(no other node transmits in [t0-1t0] P(no other node transmits in [t0t0+1]

= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1

from net layer amp creates frame

2 If adapter senses channel idle for 96 bit times it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle for 96 bit times and then transmits

3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame

4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends 48-bit jam signal

Ethernet uses CSMACD

No slotsadapter doesnrsquot transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sensetransmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection

Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm1 Adaptor receives datagram

from net layer amp creates frame

2 If adapter senses channel idle for 96 bit times it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle for 96 bit times and then transmits

3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame

4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends 48-bit jam signal

Slotted ALOHA

Assumptionsall frames same sizetime is divided into equal size slots time to transmit 1 framenodes start to transmit frames only at beginning of slotsnodes are synchronizedif 2 or more nodes transmit in slot all nodes detect collision

Operationwhen node obtains fresh frame it transmits in next slotno collision node can send new frame in next slotif collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success

5 DataLink Layer 5-24

Slotted ALOHA

Prossingle active node can continuously transmit at full rate of channelhighly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in syncsimple

Conscollisions wasting slotsidle slotsnodes may be able to detect collision in less than time to transmit packetclock synchronization

5 DataLink Layer 5-25

Slotted Aloha efficiency

Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability pprob that node 1 has success in a slot= p(1-p)N-1

prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1 as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37

Efficiency is the long-run fraction of successful slots when there are many nodes each with many frames to send

At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

5 DataLink Layer 5-26

Pure (unslotted) ALOHAunslotted Aloha simpler no synchronizationwhen frame first arrives

transmit immediately collision probability increases

frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-1t0+1]

5 DataLink Layer 5-27

Pure Aloha efficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)

P(no other node transmits in [t0-1t0] P(no other node transmits in [t0t0+1]

= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1

5 DataLink Layer 5-23

Slotted ALOHA

Assumptionsall frames same sizetime is divided into equal size slots time to transmit 1 framenodes start to transmit frames only at beginning of slotsnodes are synchronizedif 2 or more nodes transmit in slot all nodes detect collision

Operationwhen node obtains fresh frame it transmits in next slotno collision node can send new frame in next slotif collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success

5 DataLink Layer 5-24

Slotted ALOHA

Prossingle active node can continuously transmit at full rate of channelhighly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in syncsimple

Conscollisions wasting slotsidle slotsnodes may be able to detect collision in less than time to transmit packetclock synchronization

5 DataLink Layer 5-25

Slotted Aloha efficiency

Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability pprob that node 1 has success in a slot= p(1-p)N-1

prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1 as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37

Efficiency is the long-run fraction of successful slots when there are many nodes each with many frames to send

At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

5 DataLink Layer 5-26

Pure (unslotted) ALOHAunslotted Aloha simpler no synchronizationwhen frame first arrives

transmit immediately collision probability increases

frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-1t0+1]

5 DataLink Layer 5-27

Pure Aloha efficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)

P(no other node transmits in [t0-1t0] P(no other node transmits in [t0t0+1]

= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1

Ethernet uses CSMACD

No slotsadapter doesnrsquot transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sensetransmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection

Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access

5 DataLink Layer 5-55

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm1 Adaptor receives datagram

from net layer amp creates frame

2 If adapter senses channel idle for 96 bit times it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle for 96 bit times and then transmits

3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame

4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends 48-bit jam signal

5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the n-thcollision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 where m=min(n10) Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2

5 DataLink Layer 5-23

Slotted ALOHA

Assumptionsall frames same sizetime is divided into equal size slots time to transmit 1 framenodes start to transmit frames only at beginning of slotsnodes are synchronizedif 2 or more nodes transmit in slot all nodes detect collision

Operationwhen node obtains fresh frame it transmits in next slotno collision node can send new frame in next slotif collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success

5 DataLink Layer 5-24

Slotted ALOHA

Prossingle active node can continuously transmit at full rate of channelhighly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in syncsimple

Conscollisions wasting slotsidle slotsnodes may be able to detect collision in less than time to transmit packetclock synchronization

5 DataLink Layer 5-25

Slotted Aloha efficiency

Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability pprob that node 1 has success in a slot= p(1-p)N-1

prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1 as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37

Efficiency is the long-run fraction of successful slots when there are many nodes each with many frames to send

At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

5 DataLink Layer 5-26

Pure (unslotted) ALOHAunslotted Aloha simpler no synchronizationwhen frame first arrives

transmit immediately collision probability increases

frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-1t0+1]

5 DataLink Layer 5-27

Pure Aloha efficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)

P(no other node transmits in [t0-1t0] P(no other node transmits in [t0t0+1]

= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1

= p (1-p)2(N-1)

5 DataLink Layer 5-23

Slotted ALOHA

Assumptionsall frames same sizetime is divided into equal size slots time to transmit 1 framenodes start to transmit frames only at beginning of slotsnodes are synchronizedif 2 or more nodes transmit in slot all nodes detect collision

Operationwhen node obtains fresh frame it transmits in next slotno collision node can send new frame in next slotif collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success

5 DataLink Layer 5-24

Slotted ALOHA

Prossingle active node can continuously transmit at full rate of channelhighly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in syncsimple

Conscollisions wasting slotsidle slotsnodes may be able to detect collision in less than time to transmit packetclock synchronization

5 DataLink Layer 5-25

Slotted Aloha efficiency

Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability pprob that node 1 has success in a slot= p(1-p)N-1

prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1 as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37

Efficiency is the long-run fraction of successful slots when there are many nodes each with many frames to send

At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

5 DataLink Layer 5-26

Pure (unslotted) ALOHAunslotted Aloha simpler no synchronizationwhen frame first arrives

transmit immediately collision probability increases

frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-1t0+1]

5 DataLink Layer 5-27

Pure Aloha efficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)

P(no other node transmits in [t0-1t0] P(no other node transmits in [t0t0+1]

= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1

Slotted Aloha efficiency

Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability pprob that node 1 has success in a slot= p(1-p)N-1

prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1 as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37

Ethernet uses CSMACD

No slotsadapter doesnrsquot transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sensetransmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection

Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm1 Adaptor receives datagram

from net layer amp creates frame

2 If adapter senses channel idle for 96 bit times it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle for 96 bit times and then transmits

3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame

4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends 48-bit jam signal

Slotted ALOHA

Assumptionsall frames same sizetime is divided into equal size slots time to transmit 1 framenodes start to transmit frames only at beginning of slotsnodes are synchronizedif 2 or more nodes transmit in slot all nodes detect collision

Operationwhen node obtains fresh frame it transmits in next slotno collision node can send new frame in next slotif collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success

5 DataLink Layer 5-24

Slotted ALOHA

Prossingle active node can continuously transmit at full rate of channelhighly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in syncsimple

Conscollisions wasting slotsidle slotsnodes may be able to detect collision in less than time to transmit packetclock synchronization

5 DataLink Layer 5-25

Slotted Aloha efficiency

Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability pprob that node 1 has success in a slot= p(1-p)N-1

prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1 as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37

Efficiency is the long-run fraction of successful slots when there are many nodes each with many frames to send

At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

5 DataLink Layer 5-26

Pure (unslotted) ALOHAunslotted Aloha simpler no synchronizationwhen frame first arrives

transmit immediately collision probability increases

frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-1t0+1]

5 DataLink Layer 5-27

Pure Aloha efficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)

P(no other node transmits in [t0-1t0] P(no other node transmits in [t0t0+1]

= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1

Slotted Aloha efficiency

Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability pprob that node 1 has success in a slot= p(1-p)N-1

prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1 as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37

Efficiency is the long-run fraction of successful slots when there are many nodes each with many frames to send

Ethernet uses CSMACD

No slotsadapter doesnrsquot transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sensetransmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection

Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm1 Adaptor receives datagram

from net layer amp creates frame

2 If adapter senses channel idle for 96 bit times it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle for 96 bit times and then transmits

3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame

4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends 48-bit jam signal

5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the n-thcollision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 where m=min(n10) Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2

Random Access Protocols

When node has packet to sendtransmit at full channel data rate Rno a priori coordination among nodes

two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquorandom access MAC protocol specifies

how to detect collisionshow to recover from collisions (eg via delayed retransmissions)

Examples of random access MAC protocolsslotted ALOHAALOHACSMA CSMACD CSMACA

5 DataLink Layer 5-23

Slotted ALOHA

Assumptionsall frames same sizetime is divided into equal size slots time to transmit 1 framenodes start to transmit frames only at beginning of slotsnodes are synchronizedif 2 or more nodes transmit in slot all nodes detect collision

Operationwhen node obtains fresh frame it transmits in next slotno collision node can send new frame in next slotif collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success

5 DataLink Layer 5-24

Slotted ALOHA

Prossingle active node can continuously transmit at full rate of channelhighly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in syncsimple

Conscollisions wasting slotsidle slotsnodes may be able to detect collision in less than time to transmit packetclock synchronization

5 DataLink Layer 5-25

Slotted Aloha efficiency

Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability pprob that node 1 has success in a slot= p(1-p)N-1

prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1 as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37

Efficiency is the long-run fraction of successful slots when there are many nodes each with many frames to send

At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

5 DataLink Layer 5-26

Pure (unslotted) ALOHAunslotted Aloha simpler no synchronizationwhen frame first arrives

transmit immediately collision probability increases

frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-1t0+1]

5 DataLink Layer 5-27

Pure Aloha efficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)

P(no other node transmits in [t0-1t0] P(no other node transmits in [t0t0+1]

= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1

= p (1-p)2(N-1)

hellip choosing optimum p and then letting n -gt infty

= 1(2e) = 18 Even worse

Random Access Protocols

When node has packet to sendtransmit at full channel data rate Rno a priori coordination among nodes

how to detect collisionshow to recover from collisions (eg via delayed retransmissions)

Examples of random access MAC protocolsslotted ALOHAALOHACSMA CSMACD CSMACA

5 DataLink Layer 5-23

Slotted ALOHA

Assumptionsall frames same sizetime is divided into equal size slots time to transmit 1 framenodes start to transmit frames only at beginning of slotsnodes are synchronizedif 2 or more nodes transmit in slot all nodes detect collision

Operationwhen node obtains fresh frame it transmits in next slotno collision node can send new frame in next slotif collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success

5 DataLink Layer 5-24

Slotted ALOHA

Prossingle active node can continuously transmit at full rate of channelhighly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in syncsimple

Conscollisions wasting slotsidle slotsnodes may be able to detect collision in less than time to transmit packetclock synchronization

5 DataLink Layer 5-25

Slotted Aloha efficiency

Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability pprob that node 1 has success in a slot= p(1-p)N-1

prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1 as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37

Efficiency is the long-run fraction of successful slots when there are many nodes each with many frames to send

At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

5 DataLink Layer 5-26

Pure (unslotted) ALOHAunslotted Aloha simpler no synchronizationwhen frame first arrives

transmit immediately collision probability increases

frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-1t0+1]

5 DataLink Layer 5-27

Pure Aloha efficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)

P(no other node transmits in [t0-1t0] P(no other node transmits in [t0t0+1]

= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1

Ethernet uses CSMACD

No slotsadapter doesnrsquot transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sensetransmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection

Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access

5 DataLink Layer 5-55

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm1 Adaptor receives datagram

from net layer amp creates frame

2 If adapter senses channel idle for 96 bit times it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle for 96 bit times and then transmits

3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame

4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends 48-bit jam signal

5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the n-thcollision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 where m=min(n10) Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2

Slotted Aloha efficiency

Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability pprob that node 1 has success in a slot= p(1-p)N-1

prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1 as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37

Efficiency is the long-run fraction of successful slots when there are many nodes each with many frames to send

At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

Pure (unslotted) ALOHAunslotted Aloha simpler no synchronizationwhen frame first arrives

transmit immediately collision probability increases

frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-1t0+1]

Slotted Aloha efficiency

Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability pprob that node 1 has success in a slot= p(1-p)N-1

prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1 as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37

Efficiency is the long-run fraction of successful slots when there are many nodes each with many frames to send

At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

5 DataLink Layer 5-26

Pure (unslotted) ALOHAunslotted Aloha simpler no synchronizationwhen frame first arrives

transmit immediately collision probability increases

frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-1t0+1]

Pure Aloha efficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)

P(no other node transmits in [t0-1t0] P(no other node transmits in [t0t0+1]

Ethernet uses CSMACD

No slotsadapter doesnrsquot transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sensetransmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection

Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access

5 DataLink Layer 5-55

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm1 Adaptor receives datagram

from net layer amp creates frame

2 If adapter senses channel idle for 96 bit times it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle for 96 bit times and then transmits

3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame

4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends 48-bit jam signal

5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the n-thcollision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 where m=min(n10) Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2

No slotsadapter doesnrsquot transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sensetransmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection

Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access

5 DataLink Layer 5-55

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm1 Adaptor receives datagram

from net layer amp creates frame

2 If adapter senses channel idle for 96 bit times it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle for 96 bit times and then transmits

3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame

4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends 48-bit jam signal

5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the n-thcollision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 where m=min(n10) Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2

A wants to send datagram to B and Brsquos MAC address not in Arsquos ARP tableA broadcasts ARP query packet containing Bs IP address

Dest MAC address = FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FFall machines on LAN receive ARP query

B receives ARP packet replies to A with its (Bs) MAC address

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm1 Adaptor receives datagram

from net layer amp creates frame

2 If adapter senses channel idle for 96 bit times it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle for 96 bit times and then transmits

3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame

4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends 48-bit jam signal

Ethernet uses CSMACD

No slotsadapter doesnrsquot transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sensetransmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection

Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm1 Adaptor receives datagram

from net layer amp creates frame

2 If adapter senses channel idle for 96 bit times it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle for 96 bit times and then transmits

3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame

4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends 48-bit jam signal

Ethernet uses CSMACD

No slotsadapter doesnrsquot transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sensetransmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection

Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm1 Adaptor receives datagram

from net layer amp creates frame

2 If adapter senses channel idle for 96 bit times it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle for 96 bit times and then transmits

3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame

4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends 48-bit jam signal

2 If adapter senses channel idle for 96 bit times it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle for 96 bit times and then transmits

3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame

4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends 48-bit jam signal

2 If adapter senses channel idle for 96 bit times it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle for 96 bit times and then transmits

3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame

4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends 48-bit jam signal
