Introduction
The MAC sub layer provides addressingand channel access control mechanisms that
make it possible for several terminals or
network nodes to communicate within
a multiple access network that incorporates ashared medium, e.g. Ethernet.
The hardware that implements the MAC is
referred to as a medium access controller.

Functions performed in MAC
layer
Frame delimiting and recognition.
Addressing of destination stations (both as
individual stations and as groups of stations).
Conveyance of source-station addressinginformation.
Protection against errors, generally by means
of generating and checking frame check
sequences. Control of access to the physical
transmission medium.

MAC Address
It is a unique identifier assigned to networkinterfaces for communications on the physical
network segment. MAC addresses are used as
a network address for most IEEE 802 network
technologies.
MAC addresses are most often assigned by
the manufacturer of a network interface
controller (NIC) and are stored in its
hardware.If assigned by the manufacturer, a
MAC address usually encodes the
manufacturer's registered identification
number.

Channel allocations:
Static channel allocation
Dynamic channel allocation

Static Channel Allocation Bandwidth divided into equal sized portions;
so no interference of users.
For fewer, very large and varying number ofusers, it is a poor fit.
Poor fit can be proved by queen theory.T=1/(C-)
Where T: Mean time delay
C: Channel Capacity
: average arrival rate of frame
: average length of frame

Dynamic Channel allocation
In DCA schemes, all channels are kept in acentral pool and are assigned dynamically to
new calls as they arrive in the system.
After each call is completed, the channel isreturned to the central pool. It is fairly
straightforward to select the most appropriate
channel for any call based simply on current
allocation and current traffic, with the aim ofminimizing the interference.

ALOHA Protocol A station that has data can transmit at any time
After transmitting a frame, the sender waits for an acknowledgment
for an amount of time (time out) equal to the maximum round-trip
propagation delay
If no ACK was received, sender assumes that the frame or ACK has
been destroyed and resends that frame after it waits for a random
amount of time
If station fails to receive an ACK after repeated transmissions, it gives
up
Channel utilization or efficiency or Throughput is the percentage of
the transmitted frames that arrive successfully (without collisions) or
the percentage of the channel bandwidth that will be used for
transmitting frames without collisions
ALOHA Maximum channel utilization is 18% (i.e, if the system
produces F frames/s, then 0.18 * F frames will arrive successfully on
average without the need of retransmission).

Advantages and Disadvantages of
ALOHA protocols
Advantages
A node that has frames to be transmitted can transmit continuously at the
full rate of channel (R bps) if it is the only node with frames.
Simple to be implemented.
No master station is needed to control the medium.
Disadvantage
If (M) nodes want to transmit, many collisions can occur
This causes low channel utilization.
