Definitions of collision detection words

noun Technical meaning of collision detection (networking) A class of methods for sharing a data transmission medium in which hosts transmit as soon as they have data to send and then check to see whether their transmission has suffered a collision with another host's. If a collision is detected then the data must be resent. The resending algorithm should try to minimise the chance that two hosts's data will repeatedly collide. For example, the CSMA/CD protocol used on Ethernet specifies that they should then wait for a random time before re-transmitting. See also backoff. This contrasts with slotted protocols and token passing. 1
noun collision detection (computing, chiefly video games) The process or mechanism of determining whether two shapes are partially occupying the same space. 0
