How a collision is actually detected by the station?

The collision detection technology detects collisions by sensing transmissions from other stations. On detection of a collision, the station stops transmitting, sends a jam signal, and then waits for a random time interval before retransmission.

When a collision is detected in a network using CSMA CD?

When this collision condition is detected, the station stops transmitting that frame, transmits a jam signal, and then waits for a random time interval before trying to resend the frame. CSMA/CD is a modification of pure carrier-sense multiple access (CSMA).

Why collision detection is not possible in wireless systems?

This is because the nodes A and C are out of range of each other(and so cannot detect a collision while transmitting). Thus, Carrier sense multiple access with collision detection (CSMA/CD) does not work, and collisions occur. The data received by the access point is corrupted due to the collision.

What is carrier sense multiple access with collision detection?

Since baseband networks can carry only one data signal at a time, there must be some way of controlling which station has access to the media at any given time. Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) is one such control method.

How does CSMA/CD detect a collision?

The CD (collision detect) part of CSMA/CD states that we need a method for detecting a collision. After all, we need to tell other computers to hold off on transmissions until the problem is sorted. Collisions can be spotted since they are generally higher in signal amplitude than normal signals.

What is CSMA/CD ring topology?

The MA (multiple access) part of CSMA/CD tells us that there will be multiple devices using the same network. This, of course, means collisions are more than possible. It also tells us that in the ring topology, no collision will ever occur since only one computer uses the media at a given time.

How does a collision detection system work?

To detect whether a collision has occurred, the station simultaneously checks whether the transmitted signal is identical to that on the transmission medium. If this is not the case, another station carries out a transmission simultaneously and falsifies the signal on the bus.
