• Acronym: CSMA/CD
  • Short description: By employing an analog self-interference canceler, this MAC protocol senses the channel in transmission time and aborts in the case of unwanted signal interference.
  • Main features:
    • Real-time FPGA-based collision detection
    • Run-time MAC scheme update
    • Improving network energy efficiency and reliability
  • Conceptual figure:
