As an example, when contention-based medium access control (MAC) protocols are used, splitting nodes in small clusters not interfering among them allows to decrease the time needed for accessing the channel and, therefore, the energy consumed.
The 802.11 MAC protocol [2] which is based on carrier sense multiple access/collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) and Aloha system [3] constitute two well-known examples of contention-based MAC protocols.
Opponents of gay marriage cite the case as a prime example of their contention that by recognizing same-sex couples, states are interfering with religious freedoms.
Figure 3 Example of the contention resolution phase.
Historical examples support his contention that crises rekindle an ancient, more organic way of relating to one another.
On the air interface, the signaling for random access, time adjustment, and/or resource assignment can be reduced, for example, by using contention-based access, waveforms that are more tolerant to timing mismatch as compared to orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), and/or by resource reservation, making the air interface more flexible and suitable for small payload traffic.
Geographically compact plans that are also politically fair -- drawn by the public -- serve as counter-examples disproving the contention that Democrats gerrymander themselves.
He agrees, for example, with Albright's contention that she was never fully accepted by her peers in the Clinton administration because she was a woman.
For example, he cited a contention by one defendant, Mr. Odeh, that he would not have participated in an operation that violated the tenets of Islam.
It is also an excellent example of Russell's contention that analysis proceeds in stages.
