| Summary: | MAC (Medium Access Control) protocols define rules for orderly access to the shared medium and play a crucial role in the efficient and fair sharing of scarce wireless bandwidth. The nature of the wireless channel brings new issues like location-dependent carrier sensing, time varying channel and burst errors. Low power requirement and half duplex operation of the wireless systems add to the challenge. |
