Controlled-based media access control is based upon having a system in place for allowing one host to transmit at a time. It is also known as deterministic method since there is a process to determine which host transmits at a certain time. No collisions exist with this type of media access control. An example would be token ring where a token is passed from host to host and when it has the token it can transmit and others do not transmit at that time.

Contention-based media access control is known as non-deterministic because hosts can transmit whenever they want. CSMA/CD is an example of this. Collisions do exist.
