CRMA
Code Reuse Multiple Access (CRMA) protocol is a variant of CDMA,
which is widely used in cellular communications. Using this protocol,
multiple vessels share bandwidth for ship-to-shore transmissions to
the satellite. Unlike TDMA, vessels don’t need to wait their turn to
transmit. They can immediately transmit in bursts at the same time as
other vessels and at the fastest data rate available, significantly
reducing delays.
Crossover Cable
Cable in which the pins are reversed from one end to the other. Used
for connecting two computers back-to-back without using an Ethernet
hub.
