This chapter has discussed how a commonbroadcast medium can be
shared among many contending users. Multiple access protocols
differ primarily by the amount of coordination needed to control
potentially conflicting packet transmissions. Ato neextreme is
random access where no coordinationis provideda ndp acket
collisions arep ossible. Atthe other endo fthe spectrum, the class
of fixed assignment access protocols eliminates collisions entirely
butpay the price ofadditional overhead required forscheduling user
access. Hybrid access protocolsb etweenthese two extremes exist
While these protocols attempt to combine the advantages ofrandom
andfixed access, they also suffer the c ombined drawbacks and
overhead ofboth classes of access schemes. Amongt he many factors
that determine the performance ofa n access protocol include the
propagation delay/packet transmission timeratio, the message
arrival process, the types of feedback information available, the
user population, and the ability of the user to sense the
activities in the network. BIBLIOGRAPHY [ABRA93] Abramson, N. ,
