Random Access Protocols

What
Random Access Protocols are a type of Mac Protocol that advises that we allow collisions and then recover from collisions

Process

 * When a node has data to send, just send it into the wire at full bandwidth
 * When two or more nodes are transmitting at once, we get a collision
 * The Random Access Protocol will specify how to detect collisions and how to recover from collisions

Implementations

 * Slotted ALOHA
 * Carrier Sense Multiple Access
