The hidden terminal problem in wireless sensor network(WSN) is one of the main causes of collisions. Even though RTS/CTS handshaking has been implemented in the CSMA/CA standard to alleviate the problem, but it does not solve the collisions completely. Moreover, it induces an issue called false bloc...
