- 12.Initially all the nodes are allowed to try to aquire the channel, and if it is able to aquire the channel, it sends its frame. If there is collision then the nodes are divided into two equal groups and only one of these groups compete for slot 1. If one of its member aquires the channel then the next slot is reserved for the other group.
