Different types of telecommunications network

Switched communications network A switched communications network routes data from source to destination via a network of nodes. There are two methods for switching.

Broadcast network A broadcast network avoids the complex routing procedures of a switched network by ensuring that each node's transmissions are received by all other nodes in the network.

Network access This type of communication, known as multiple access, can be established through channel scheduling or through random access.

Scheduled access Time-division multiple access (TDMA) scheduling assigns a time slot to each node in turn, which uses the slot if it has something to transmit.

Random access Random-access algorithms were created specifically to provide nodes with something to transmit with faster channel access.
