MAC address
unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications on the physical network segment
code division multiple access
channel access method for radio communication, allowing many transmitters to send information over one channel using spread spectrum technology and a special coding scheme; used in GPS, cdmaOne, CDMA2000, UMTS etc
carrier sense multiple access with collision detection
media access control method used most notably in early Ethernet technology for local area networking
time-division multiple access
channel access method for shared-medium networks
medium access control
service layer in IEEE 802 network standards
ALOHAnet
ALOHAnet, also known as the ALOHA System, or simply ALOHA, was a pioneering computer networking system developed at the University of Hawaiʻi. ALOHAnet became operational in June 1971, providing the first public demonstration of a wireless packet data network.
