2 Taxonomy of Multiple-Access Protocols
CHANNELIZATION Channelization is a multiple-access method in which the available bandwidth of a link is shared in time, frequency, or through code, between different stations. In this section, we discuss three channelization protocols. Frequency-Division Multiple Access (FDMA) Time-Division Multiple Access (TDMA) Code-Division Multiple Access (CDMA) Topics discussed in this section:
12.4 Figure Frequency-division multiple access (FDMA)
12.5 In FDMA, the available bandwidth of the common channel is divided into bands that are separated by guard bands. Note
12.6 Time-division multiple access (TDMA)
12.7 In TDMA, the bandwidth is just one channel that is timeshared between different stations. Note
12.8 In CDMA, one channel carries all transmissions simultaneously. Note
12.9 Simple idea of communication with code

CONTROLLED ACCESS In controlled access, the stations consult one another to find which station has the right to send. A station cannot send unless it has been authorized by other stations. We discuss three popular controlled-access methods. Reservation Polling Token Passing Topics discussed in this section:
Reservation Station needs to make a reservation before sending data Time is divided into intervals In each interval reservation frame goes before data telling which station has to send data
12.17 Figure Reservation access method
Polling Works with topologies in which one device is designated as primary station and others are secondary stations All data is communicated through Primary station If primary device has to send data is alerts secondary by Sending SELECT function Primary device if not sending continues to Poll each device NAK is send is secondary device does not want to send data
12.19 POLLING Select and poll functions in polling access method
Token Passing Works in any topology if Logical ring is created Special packet called a token is circulated through the ring. The possession of token gives the station the right to access the channel and send its data If no data to send token is passed to next logical station in ring
