    v10 v11  
    2020In this tutorial, we will implement a completely different kind of MAC based on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Token_ring the token ring]. This MAC does not use randomness to avoid collisions but rather explicitly allows only a single transmitter at a time by passing around a token that authorizes transmissions. This is a form a scheduled access MAC (as opposed to a random access MAC).
