Hidden and exposed terminal problems: The reason for these two problems is the broadcast nature of the radio channel, namely, all the nodes within a node’s transmission range receive its transmission.

Hidden terminal problem – two nodes that are outside each-other’s range perform simultaneous transmission to a node that is within the range of each of them, hence, there is a packet collision.

Exposed terminal problem – the node is within the range of a node that is transmitting, and it cannot transmit to any node.

Solution

Multiple Access Collision Avoidance avoids the problem of hidden terminals

o A and C want to send to B

o A sends RTS(Ready to Send) first

o C waits after receiving CTS (Clear to Send) from B

enter image description here

MACA avoids the problem of exposed terminals

o B wants to send to A, C to another terminal

o now C does not have to wait for it cannot receive CTS from A
