  Hidden node problem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computer networking, the hidden node problem occurs when a node is visible from a wireless hub, but not from other nodes communicating with said hub.
Hidden nodes in a wireless network refer to nodes which are out of range of other nodes or a collection for nodes.
For example, it is likely that the node at the far edge of the circle can see the access point, which is known as r, but it is unlikely that the same node can see a node on the opposite end of the circle, 2r (or simply the diameter).

 Radio communication apparatus and method for preventing hidden terminals from interrupting communications - Patent ...
The terminals other than the destination of an RTS frame check the length of the data carried in the frame and refrain from accessing the transmission path until the transmission and acknowledgement of the data is completed.
A terminal in the transmission mode scans all the channels prior to a data transmission, and if a channel in the idle state is found, the terminal transmits a busy tone on the channel and further transmits a predetermined group tone.
A terminal in the reception mode scans all the channels, and establishes a connection with the transmitter in response to the reception of the predetermined group tone.

However, collisions are not a major problem on Localtalk; the network is physically small, carrier sensing is fairly rapid, the data rate is relatively low, and (if the network is properly built) there are no hidden terminals.
When hidden terminals exist, lack of carrier doesn't always mean it's OK to transmit.

Any other node receiving the CTS frame should refrain from sending data for a given time (solving the Hidden node problem).
Any other node receiving the RTS frame but not the CTS frame should not refrain from sending data to another node (solving the Exposed node problem).
The RTS/CTS mechanism is a way to solve the so called Hidden node problem and Exposed node problem.

Coupled with this, the hidden terminal problem has been identified in wireless systems and is caused by problems in collision detection.
Obstructions and distance between A and C may cause C to be hidden from A with neither one detecting a collision when transmitting to B, causing the network to become unreliable.
Antenna diversity attempts to solve this problem, as it involves having two antennas built into the hardware, and so allows the system to determine which signal is stronger and therefore the correct signal.

One of the problems in reprogramming is the issue of message collision.
To reduce the problem of collision and hidden terminal problem, we propose a sender selection algorithm that attempts to guarantee that in a neighborhood there is at most one source transmitting the program at a time.
Finally, we argue that it is possible to tune our service according to the remaining battery level of a sensor, i.e., it can be tuned so that the probability that a sensor is given the responsibility of transmitting the code is proportional to its remaining battery life.

For C, the medium appears to be free and thus starts sending data to B, and thus causing a collision at B. Here A is hidden for C and vice-versa.
In a second case, B wants to send data to A, and at the same time C wants to send data to some other terminal, outside the interference range of A and B. But since C senses the medium to be busy, it will hold on sending the data to that other terminal.
In this case the terminal C waiting is unnecessary as A is outside of the interference range of A.

In fact, this activity is a critical - and challenging - one for a tremendous population of workers who need access to enterprise data in the field and the ability to return data for subsequent processing.
"To address this problem," says Larry Koved, a researcher at Watson, "we are looking at a different approach to user interface design and application development based on task modeling." Task modeling describes the information that needs to be displayed and captured at the user interface and the form in which it is visually organized.

This phenomena causes packets of a multi-hop flow to interference with each other as they are relayed over the multi-hop route.
This interference, an instance of the notorious hidden terminal problem, is caused by simultaneous transmissions by down-stream nodes unaware of ongoing transmissions by up-stream nodes.
DMAC is a novel MAC protocol that alleviates the hidden terminal problem by deferring further transmissions until the previously transmitted packets travel far enough to avoid interference with the newly transmitted packets.

Abstract: Performance of the MAC protocol for the IEEE 802.11 Wireless LANs is examined with respect to the "hidden terminal" problem.
The simulation results have clearly shown that "hidden terminals" introduce significant impact on network performance, especially on maximum achievable throughput and delay at moderate loads.
With Pareto distributed packet traffic, different level of source burstiness seems to have no considerable influence over the throughput and the delay because of the station queues acting as traffic equalizers.

Once the enhancements are complete, the standard will specify interoperable wireless metropolitan area network (wireless MAN) air interfaces from 2to 66 GHz, including licensed and license-exempt operation, under a single umbrella with a common medium access control layer (MAC).
As one solution to this problem, the 802.16a draft specifies a dynamic frequency selection method for license-exempt bands similar to the one being standardized in IEEE Project 802.11h.
The draft also supports the use of a mesh architecture in which some subscriber stations communicate with other data-forwarding subscriber stations rather than directly with the base station.

Due to the hidden terminal problem and non-fully connected topology in ad hoc networks, stations and streams in the network cannot equally contend with each other.
This leads to that some stations and streams may be starved, which is the so-called fairness problem in ad hoc networks.
