Aloha (From the Hawaiian greeting) A system of {contention resolution} devised at The {University of Hawaii}. {Packets} are {broadcast} when ready, the sender listens to see if they collide and if so re-transmits after a random time. {Slotted Aloha} constrains packets to start at the beginning of a time slot. Basic Aloha is appropriate to long propagation time nets (e.g. satellite). For shorter propagation times, {carrier sense} {protocols} are possible. (1995-12-10)
