Token-based media access is a controlled media access method in which computers pass a special sequence of bits between them; only the node holding this token can transmit on the network. After transmitting its data, or if it has no data to transmit, a node passes the token to the next computer on the network.

Compare and contast controlled media access and contention-based media access control?
Controlled-based media access control is based upon having a system in place for allowing one host to transmit at a time. It is also known as deterministic method since there is a process to determine which host transmits at a certain time. No collisions exist with this type of media access control. An example would be token ring where a token is passed from host to host and when it has the token it can transmit and others do not transmit at that time. Contention-based media access control is known as non-deterministic because hosts can transmit whenever they want. CSMA/CD is an example of this. Collisions do exist.

How do you put token in a sentence?
To include a token in a sentence, you can simply mention it within the text. For example, "The security token allowed access to the system."

One example sentence is, "I need a token to access the gym."
