From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (07Oct99) [foldoc]:

Aloha

<networking> (From the Hawaiian greeting) A system of
{contention resolution} devised at The {University of Hawaii}.
{Packets} are {broadcast} when ready, the sender listens to
see if they collide and if so re-transmits after a random
time. {Slotted Aloha} constrains packets to start at the
beginning of a time slot. Basic Aloha is appropriate to long
propagation time nets (e.g. satellite). For shorter
propagation times, {carrier sense} {protocols} are possible.
