*** In CSMA/CD it detects that a collision take place and resend the frame that was send. On a wirless network losing bandwidth along with time to detect that a collision took place was not acceptable , so CSMA/CA was utilized. ** CSMA/CD can achieve above 70% efficiency under heavy loads compared to CSMA/CA that can only achieve up to 30% efficiency under heavy loads. CSMA/CA network: A network in which the medium access control protocol requires carrier sense and where a station always starts transmission by sending a jam signal; if there is no collision with jam signals from other stations, it begins sending data; otherwise, it stops transmission and then tries again later. CSMA/CD network: A bus network in which the medium access control protocol requires carrier sense and in which exception conditions caused by collision are resolved by retransmission

my question is:Difference between CSMA/CD and CSMA/CA ?

they are protocols to send data on LAN, they come under LLC control layer (under DLL).

CSMA/CD:-

CSMA=> before sending data the LAN/connecting media is checked for free, if it is free then only data is sent otherwise data is not sent.

CD => collosion detection: If some times collision occurs in the LAN then as soon as it is detected by the computers over the LAN they will stop the transmission (instead of transmitting till the end) and will retransmit after waiting for the random period of time.

CSMA/CA: it is also similar to CSMA but the only difference is that it is used for the wireless media ie 802.11; where the computer nodes are hidden.
