| Question 261 |
Which media access control protocol is used by IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN?
| CDMA | |
| CSMA/CA | |
| ALOHA | |
| None of the above |
Question 261 Explanation:
This layer provides the same function as the MAC layer in the wired LAN environment.
IEEE 802.11, instead of using Ethernet’s CSMA/CD, specifies a scheme called CSMA/CA.
CA stands for Collision Avoidance. (In the wireless environment, since a station may not be able to hear all other stations, CD, Collision Detection is not feasible)
