Multi-Path Communication Protocol Implementation: Pure ALOHA, Slotted ALOHA, CSMA, ISMA and More

The source code provides a comprehensive simulation framework for multi-path communication protocols, implementing algorithms for Pure ALOHA, Slotted ALOHA, CSMA, ISMA, and other protocols. The simulation employs an event-driven architecture that models packet transmission, collision detection, and retransmission mechanisms based on each protocol's specific rules. Users can configure various network parameters including node count, packet generation rates, and propagation delays to simulate different communication scenarios. The program outputs comparative performance metrics such as transmission success rates and average time delays, enabling quantitative evaluation of protocol efficiency under varying network conditions. These simulation results provide valuable insights for communication system design and optimization by demonstrating how different protocols perform across diverse operational environments. The modular code structure allows easy extension to incorporate additional communication protocols or modified transmission algorithms.
