IEEE 802.11: multiple access<br />

avoid collisions: 2 + nodes transmitting at same time<br />

802.11: CSMA - sense before transmitting<br />

don’t collide with ongoing transmission by other node<br />

802.11: no collision detection!<br />

difficult to receive (sense collisions) when transmitting due<br />

to weak received signals (fading)<br />

can’t sense all collisions in any case: hidden terminal, fading<br />

goal: avoid collisions: CSMA/C(ollision)A(voidance)<br />
