The W-LAN Ad Hoc network tends to cause problems called "Hidden Node" and "Exposed Node".RTS/CTS mechanism has been introduced to mitigate Hidden Node and most of existing researches assume that RTS and CTS are sent at the same transmission range.This paper describes a new method to improve the network throughput by adjusting the RTS transmission range.The simulation result showed that the proposed method achieved higher throughput in some degree.
