Suppose there are two mobile nodes, a source and a destination, in an 802.11b WLAN. Answer the following questions on CSMA/CA. (15 marks) 1. Describe the CSMA/CA algorithm for both the source and the destination, assuming that Request to Send (RTS)/ Clear to Send (CTS) is not used. (5 marks) 2. When using RTS/CTS, explain what would prevent a hidden terminal from interfering with a source node? (5 marks) 3. When using RTS/CTS, explain how an exposed terminal decides it is safe to send to another destination
