Abstract

The Request-to-Send/Clear-to-Send (RTS/CTS) protocol is a multiple access scheme that reserves the channel over space and time in order to transmit a payload (PAY). In this paper, exact expressions for the probability of correctly receiving the RTS, CTS and PAY are derived. Unlike other approaches, the power capture effect is considered for each packet type separately. Numerical results reveal an inter-play of the different capture probability over time and space, leading to an improved understanding of the scheme in the wireless network
