Aloha Protocols in Homework Solutions

The document discusses advantages of pure Aloha over slotted Aloha, highlighting its lack of fixed packet size and synchronization requirements. It also explains that CSMA/CD outperforms slotted Aloha only in certain scenarios, specifically when the propagation delay to transmission rate ratio is small. As this ratio increases, CSMA/CD performance declines while slotted Aloha remains unaffected.

Solutions 3 for Homework #5 6

Additional problems:

A1: What is the advantage that the pure Aloha gives you over the slotted Aloha in
addition to the synchronization requirement?

No fixed packet size, ability to start transmission at anytime and does not need to
do synchronization.

A2: Only in certain scenario, the CSMA/CD outperforms slotted Aloha,


what is the scenario?

For Small values of a=tprop R/ L, as ‘a’ increases, the reaction time for CSMA/CD
increases, hence, the performance suffers. However, Slotted Aloha’s performance
is not affected because it does not dependent on ‘a.’
