CSMA Definition

CSMA stands for Carrier Sense Multiple Access.

This is a carrier frequency technology used in networking, particularly in early Ethernet standards.

Understanding Carrier Sense Multiple Access

  • Carrier Sense: Devices listen to the transmission medium (like a cable) to check if it is busy before transmitting data. If the medium is sensed as busy, the device waits.
  • Multiple Access: Multiple devices share the same transmission medium and take turns accessing it.

CSMA protocols help manage how devices share a common network channel to avoid data collisions.
