Wi-Fi Question of the Day (QOTD)

You have configured your wireless client stations to use an RTS frame to reserve the wireless medium whenever they intend to transmit data; some client stations within the BSS cannot detect when other wireless stations send an RTS frame.

What is the effect on wireless communication in this scenario?

You must select 1 answer

The collision and retry count will increase significantly, decreasing the overall throughput of the BSS
Stations that do not detect the RTS frame avoid collisions by detecting the access point's CTS reply frame
When other stations send a Clear Channel Assessment to the AP, the AP will prevent them from transmitting by indicating the physical medium is busy
The wireless client station with data to send will not be able to transmit unless all stations enable protection mechanisms
The transmitting station will retry the RTS frame until it is acknowledged by all stations in the BSS
Stations that are configured to use RTS frames in this BSS will see poor throughput compared with stations that are configured to use CTS-to-Self frames

Success Stories

I literally just came out of the testing centre having taken the CWDP exam. The certification process opened my mind to different techniques and solutions. This knowledge can only broaden your perspective. Great job, CWNP, you have a great thing going on here.
-Darren

Working through the CWNP coursework and certifications helped not only to deepen my technical knowledge and understanding, but also it boosted my confidence. The hard work it took to earn my CWNE has been rewarding in so many ways.

I want to commend you and all at CWNP for having a great organization. You really 'raise the bar' on knowing Wi-Fi well. I have learned a ton of information that is helping my job experience and personal career goals, because of my CWAP/CWDP/CWSP studies. Kudos to all at CWNP.
