MAC (Medium access control) Protocol WIRELESS // Hidden terminal Problem Career sensing is sensing the collisions that happens locally not at the receiver. A->B<-C Can't do collision detection. RTS -> request to send CTS -> Clear to send CSMA/CA Carrier Sense Multiple Access / Collision Avoidance WiFi uses CSMA CA # Exposed terminal problem Modified CA: RTS/CTS/DS/Data/Ack DS Data-Sending RTS from A to B CTS from B to A DS from A to B DATA frame from A to B ACK from B to A.
