The document discusses resolving data collisions in CSMA wireless networks through various protocols. It describes the hidden and exposed station problems that can occur in CSMA networks and several research papers that propose solutions. The RTS-CTS handshake protocol is described as a way to avoid collisions between hidden terminals by having the sender and receiver exchange request-to-send and clear-to-send frames before transmitting data. Variants of this approach were incorporated into the IEEE 802.11 standard.
3. 3 The 802.11 CSMA Sublayer Protocol (a) The hidden station problem. (b) The exposed station problem.
4. RESEARCH PAPER 1 By Fouad A. Tobagi & Leonard A busy tone solution for hidden terminal problem in CSMA. When a node is ready for transmission, it senses the channel to check whether the busy tone is active. If not, it turns on the busy tone signal and starts data transmissions Otherwise, it reschedules the packet for transmission after some random rescheduling delay. Any other node which senses the carrier on the incoming data channel also transmits the busy tone signal on the control channel, thus, prevent two neighboring nodes from transmitting at the same time.

5. RESEARCH PAPER 2 by HossamHassanein and Chi-Hsiang Yeh It assign priority for packets. it can enable different packets with different priority to access the media and thus gain QoS. http://www.isaac.cs.berkeley.edu/isaac/wep-faq.html
6. RASEARCH PAPER 3 BY Tiantong You AND HossamHassanein An Adaptive Distributed ID Assignment Scheme for CSMA/IC. Achieving collision free medium access in CSMA/IC only requires that the nodal ID is unique in its preventing range, while the nodal MAC ID (48 bits long) could guarantee uniqueness in the entire network.

9. 10 Solution by RTS-CTS protocol The CSMA protocol. (a) A sending an RTS to B. (b) B responding with a CTS to A.
10. 11 CSMAW Variants of this method can be found in IEEE 802.11 as DFWCSMA (Distributed Foundation Wireless CSMA), CSMAW (CSMA for Wireless) is a revision of CSMA. The sender senses the carrier to see and transmits a RTS (Request To Send) frame if no nearby station transmits a RTS. The receiver replies with a CTS (Clear To Send) frame. Neighbors see CTS, then keep quiet. see RTS but not CTS, then keep quiet until the CTS is back to the sender. The receiver sends an ACK when receiving an frame. Neighbors keep silent until see ACK. Collisions There is no collision detection. The senders know collision when they don’t receive CTS. They each wait for the exponential backoff time.
11. 12 CSMA variant: DFWCSMA in IEEE802.11 sender receiver idle idle packet ready to send; RTS data; ACK time-out; RTS RxBusy wait for the right to send RTS; CTS time-out data; NAK ACK time-out NAK; RTS CTS; data wait for data wait for ACK RTS; RxBusy ACK: positive acknowledgement NAK: negative acknowledgement RxBusy: receiver busy
12. 13 Examples A C A C CSMA avoids the problem of hidden terminals A and C want to send to B A sends RTS first C waits after receiving CTS from B CSMA avoids the problem of exposed terminals B wants to send to A, C to another terminal now C does not have to wait for it cannot receive CTS from A RTS CTS CTS B RTS RTS CTS B
