Page 1: ... Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance CSMA CA protocol Using this protocol each station senses the communications medium RF channel and does not transmit until the channel is clear This avoids collisions and minimizes the retransmission of subsequent packets The standard also supports the operation of a station within a wireless LAN that may coexist with several overlapping wireless LANs...
