What is ALOHA?
ALOHA is an early computer networking method created at the University of Hawaii in the early 1970s. It’s a straightforward way to send data over a shared medium, like a wireless or wired network. The main idea of ALOHA is how it handles collisions, which happen when two devices try to send data at the same time, causing interference.
There are two main versions of the ALOHA protocol:
In this article we going to discuss pure ALOHA in detail.
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.
