Abstract :
Collision detection (CD) is easy to implement in baseband coaxial CSMA/CD networks, but is a formidable design challenge in optical fiber implementations. Seven different methods for detecting collisions in fiber optic networks are described and analyzed. Attention is focused on CD accuracy, CD dynamic range, implementation considerations, and reliability issues.
