Frequently Asked Questions on Pure ALOHA
What is the full form of ALOHA?
The full form of ALOHA is Advocates of Linux Open-source Hawaii Association.
What is ALOHA and its type?
ALOHA is a basic method for sending data over a shared network. It was created to manage how data is transmitted and to deal with collisions when two devices send data at the same time.
There are two types of ALOHA:
- Pure ALOHA
- Slotted ALOHA
What is the use of ALOHA?
ALOHA is used to transmit data over a public network channel.
What is Pure ALOHA?
The ALOHA protocol was first developed at the University of Hawaii in the early 1970s for packet radio networks. However, it can be used in any situation where multiple devices share a common communication channel. This protocol allows devices to transmit data at any time, without a set schedule. This is known as a random access technique, and it is asynchronous because there is no coordination between devices. When multiple devices attempt to transmit data at the same time, it can result in a collision, where the data becomes garbled. In this case, each device will simply wait a random amount of time before attempting to transmit again. The basic concept of the ALOHA protocol can be applied to any system where uncoordinated users are competing for the use of a shared channel.
