Question

question 5
what method is used to manage contention - based access on a wireless network?
priority ordering
token passing
csma/ca
csma/cd

Explanation:

CSMA/CA (Carrier - Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance) is used to manage contention - based access in wireless networks. It helps devices sense the channel before transmitting and avoid collisions. Priority ordering is not the main method for this purpose in wireless networks. Token passing is used in some wired networks like token - ring networks. CSMA/CD (Carrier - Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection) is for wired Ethernet networks where collisions can be detected, but in wireless networks, it's difficult to detect collisions due to the hidden - node problem, so CSMA/CA is preferred.

Answer:

C. CSMA/CA
