Media Access protocol on IEEE 802.3 and Ethernet ?

I assume you mean 802.3, not 802.e (the keys are adjacent on a qwerty keyboard).

Ethernet/802.3 uses 1-persistent CSMA, with collision detect (in half-duplex mode).

You can read all the gory details yourself on IEEE's web site.

Nowadays, as the saying goes: no CS, no MA, and no CD.

What is 'CA' supposed to mean?

Apart from that, the questions are ill-posed, as none of them cover material differences between "802.3" and "Ethernet" - both of these largely overlapping topical areas encompass the same set of various access methods, as far as I know.

For all practical purposes, "802.3" and "Ethernet" are used as synonyms.

As usual, it is not really possible to guess the _correct_ answers to your homework problem set, because we don't know in which way the material has been covered in the course you are taking. In this case, we do not know what exact meaning "Ethernet" could have had in your course. Can you clarify for us?

What Media Access Control protocol does Ethernet and IEE 802.e use ?

CSMA persistent ? CSMA/CD ? CSMA non persistent ? CSMA / CA ?

And IEEE 802.11 uses CSMA / CA , right ?

Collision Avoidance, ala Apple's LocalTalk.

NM

yes, I have IEEE 802.3 standard, but dont find exact protocol. I have read in some books that it uses CSMA/CD 1 persistent.

For your information, it is not homework questions. I like to study computer networks, and Im reading some books. Some of these books tells 802.3 uses CSMA/CD 1 persistent , but Im not sure.

CSMA/CA is "Collision avoidance" used by 802.11 networks
