Hidden Problems with the Hidden Node Problem
Ashikur Rahman, Paweł Gburzyński · 2006
We discuss a few problems introduced by the RTS/CTS mechanism of collision avoidance and focus on the virtual jamming problem, which allows a malicious node to effectively jam a large fragment of a wireless network at a minimum expense of power. We propose a solution to this problem and provide experimental data illustrating the impact of virtual jamming and the effectiveness of our proposed solution
