Reservation access method
If there are N stations in the system, there are exactly N reservation minislots in the reservation
frame. Each minislot belongs to a station. When a station needs to send a dataframe, it makes a
reservation in its own minislot. The stations that have made reservations can send their data
frames after the reservation frame.
Select and poll functions in polling access method
Polling works with topologies in which one device is designated as a Primary Station and the other devices are
Secondary Stations. All data exchanges must be made through the primary device even when the ultimate
destination is a secondary device. The primary device controls the link and the secondary devices follow its
instructions.
Poll Function: If the primary wants to receive data, it asks the secondaries if they have anything to send; this is
called poll function.
Select Function: If the primary wants to send data, it tells the secondary to get ready to receive; this is called select
function.
It is upto the primary device to determine which device is allowed to use the channel at a given time.
Then the current station passes the right to the successor when it has no more data
to send.

CHANNELIZATION
• CDMA differs from FDMA because only one channel occupies the
entire bandwidth of the link.
Solution
We can use the rows of W2 and W4 in Figure 12.29:
a. For a two-station network, we have
[+1 +1] and [+1 −1].
Solution
The number of sequences needs to be 2m. We need to choose m = 7 and N = 27 or 128. We
can then use 90
of the sequences as the chips.
Example 3
Prove that a receiving station can get the data sent by a specific sender if it multiplies the
entire data on the channel by the sender’s chip code and then divides it by the number of
stations.
Solution
Let us prove this for the first station, using our previous four-station example. We can say
that the data on the channel
D = (d1 ⋅ c1 + d2 ⋅ c2 + d3 ⋅ c3 + d4 ⋅ c4).
The receiver which wants to get the data sent by station 1 multiplies these data by c1.
