However, if only single transceiver is available in the multichannel network, the hidden terminal problem will happen in the different way, and name as multichannel hidden terminal problem. Therefore, the paper analyzes this problem and proposes a pipeline-like multichannel MAC protocol (π-Mc) to avoid the multichannel hidden terminal problem. In addition, the paper also tries to increase the usage of the channel. Finally, π-Mc also compares with IEEE DCF and DCA. According to the simulation results, π-Mc can perform well in the network throughput and delay.
