Type
Explanation
A. Reservation
Controlled Access
Stations reserve the channel for transmission before sending data.
B. Polling
Controlled Access
A central controller polls each station to determine if it has data to send.
C. TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access)
Channelization
Divides the channel into time slots — not part of controlled access.
