Wireless Networking MCQs

The document discusses the hidden station problem in wireless networks, where stations cannot detect each other's signals due to distance or obstacles. It outlines solutions such as the RTS/CTS handshake mechanism, which helps manage communication and reduce collisions. Additionally, it includes multiple-choice and true/false questions to assess understanding of the RTS/CTS mechanism and its application in IEEE 802.11 networks.
