Specifically, STA A is transmitting information to STA B, but it can be determined that STA C is idle when performing carrier sensing before sending data to STA B. This is because the STA A transmission (ie, media occupancy) may not be sensed at the STA C location. In this case, STA B receives information of STA A and STA C at the same time, so that collision occurs. In this case, STA A is a hidden node of STA C.

For example, if the STA to which data is to be transmitted transmits an RTS frame to the STA receiving the data, the STA receiving the data can notify that it will receive the data by transmitting the CTS frame to surrounding STAs.
  • FIG. 6A is an example of a method for solving a hidden node problem, and it is assumed that both STA A and STA C attempt to transmit data to STA B.
  • FIG. 6A When STA A sends RTS to STA B, STA B transmits CTS to both STA A and STA C around it. As a result, STA C waits until the data transmission of STA A and STA B is completed, thereby avoiding collision.
  • 6 (b) is an illustration of a method for solving the exposed node problem, where STA C overrides the RTS / CTS transmission between STA A and STA B, D, the collision does not occur. That is, STA B transmits RTS to all surrounding STAs, and only STA A having data to be transmitted transmits CTS. Since STA C only receives RTS and does not receive CTS of STA A, it can be seen that STA A is outside the carrier sensing of STC C.
