Enum ClassBUnit
Indicates which type of unit a Class B CS Position Report originated from.
Namespace: Ais.Net
Assembly: Ais.Net.dll
Syntax
public enum ClassBUnit : int
Remarks
Class B AIS equipment comes in two forms. The cheapest uses CSTDMA (Carrier Sense Time-Division Multiple Access), meaning that it waits until nobody else seems to be broadcasting, and then broadcasts in the hope that the transmission won't collide. A more expensive kind, sometimes called Class B+, uses the same SOTMA (Self-Organized Time-Division Multiple Access) mechanism as Class A transmitters.
