Abstract :
A fundamental defect of the simple CSMA-CD multiple access scheme is that messages meant for different stations can collide in the common channel. In this paper, a multi-channel form of the CSMA-CD network, created by CDMA signalling, is analyzed. Its performance is shown to be superior to that of a single channel CSMA-CD network
