Physical Layer Collision Avoidance

The Physical Layer Collision Avoidance (abbreviated PLCA) is an enhancement over the CSMA/CD shared-media access method. It was designed to provide deterministic performance on (small) half-duplex multi-drop Ethernet networks to satisfy the real-time requirements of many modern industrial and automotive applications.

PLCA is defined as a Reconciliation Sublayer (RS) in Clause 148 of the IEEE 802.3cg-2019 specification[1], which amends the IEEE Std. 802.3-2018[2].

The PLCA method was invented by Piergiorgio Beruto and Antonio Orzelli (US patent 10925097B2, Beruto, Piergiorgio & Antonio Orzelli, "Method for preventing physical collision on ethernet multidrop networks", published 2021-02-16, issued 2021-01-27 ).
