Abstract
A novel and simple collision detection technique for CSMA/CD based fibre-optic local area networks is reported. The method is suitable for both passive and active ring and star configured systems. All collisions are detected in ring networks. In star networks, approximately less than 1% of collisions, depending on the system parameters, cannot be detected.
