# lec22
_This is continuation of previous lecture where MAC protocols are covered in brief._
## Taking turns
Let's now describe various methods to achieve turn taking.
1. _polling_:
* master invites slaves to transmit data
2. _token rings_:
* control token passed from node to node
## ARP: Address Resolution Protocol
Protocol to determine MAC address on a given device in a network.
Upon association the protocol will emplace an entry into the target device's `arp table` where we record MAC and IP address associations.
# Wireless links
Interference: everything will cause interference which means we expect interference.
Primarily for wireless connections: _Code Division Multiple Access_(asynchronus kinda)
### CDMA
Each node receives a code which it uses to splice transmissions across the wireless link.
Each node may transmit data at an arbitrary rate since the transmissions splice into each other forming a consistent signal cumulatively.
