A new MAC Protocol for Reducing Effect of Needless Transmission Deferment Induced by Missed RTS/CTS Handshake
IEEE802.11DCF employs RTS/CTS (Request To Send/Clear To Send) mechanism for mitigating effect of hidden terminals. The RTS/CTS mechanism sets transmission deferral timer to neighbor terminals by exchanging RTS and CTS between transmitter and receiver. Then, in the case that RTS/CTS exchange succeeds...
