Radio Channel Access

Method of accessing the radio channel may significantly affect the overall reliability of packet transmission. Even in a simple polling-type application, which never generates more than a single packet at a time, collisions may occur when repeaters are used. The goal of channel access is either to eliminate collisions completely, or to reduce their probability while ensuring that systematic repeated collisions never happen. RipEX provides different channel access methods in different modes and optimum configuration can be found for every communication scheme and network layout.
