- C.
Avoid collisions by sending faster signals
- D.
Handshaking sequence used between communicating stations
Correct Answer
C. Avoid collisions by sending faster signalsExplanation
CSMA/CA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance) and CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection) are both protocols used in Ethernet networks to avoid collisions. One way in which CSMA/CA differs from CSMA/CD is that in CSMA/CA, the wireless transceiver cannot listen for other transmissions while transmitting. This is because in wireless networks, multiple devices may be sharing the same medium (airwaves) and it is not possible to simultaneously transmit and receive. Therefore, CSMA/CA uses a mechanism where stations attempt to avoid collisions by using random backoff delays, rather than listening for other transmissions. The option "Avoid collisions by sending faster signals" is incorrect because it does not accurately describe the difference between CSMA/CA and CSMA/CD.Rate this question:
