Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
A data station that intends to transmit sends a busy signal. After waiting a sufficient time for all stations to receive the busy signal, the data station transmits a frame. While transmitting, if the data station detects a busy signal from another station, it stops transmitting for a random time and then tries again. 2, record 1, English, - carrier%20sense%20multiple%20access%20with%20collision%20avoidance
