Abstract

In this paper, a new efficient hidden node detection method is proposed to decide whether the RTS/CTS mechanism is necessary to resolve the hidden node problem for the data transmission of each node in infrastructure mode IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs. The nodes, for which the RTS/CTS mechanism is found to be not necessary by the hidden node detection method, can transmit their data frames without performing the RTS/CTS exchange. Only the nodes, for which the RTS/CTS mechanism is found to be necessary by the hidden node detection method, perform the RTS/CTS exchange before their data frame transmissions.
