Talk:Exposed terminal problem
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The case explained here has a flaw in the statement:
"the exposed node S2 should be allowed to transmit in a controlled fashion without interfering with the on-going transmission between S1 and R1."
Unless "controlled fashion" means transmit for a short period so by the time R1 sends an ACK to S1, S2 is done transmiting to R2.

I think this article should be merged with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exposed_node_problem... and one should have a redirect to the other.

"If the nodes are not synchronised the problem may occur that the sender will not hear the CTS or the ACK during the transmission of data of the second sender."
this is slightly ambiguous. the intended statement is probably: "If the nodes are not synchronised the problem may occur that the first sender will not hear the CTS or the ACK during the transmission of data from the second sender."
or, the names S1 and S2 could be used. still, it is not clear that this is the correct description of the implementation. there is no explanation for why a sender would be listening for an ACK.

[edit] Which node is the exposed terminal?
I am learning a bit more about Wi-Fi, and I was wondering which node in this scenario is classified as the "exposed terminal"? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.220.148.114 (talk) 04:30, August 20, 2007 (UTC)
