sending of a data frame. After receiving an RTS frame, the station
sends a CTS (clear to send) frame to notify the sending station
that it can start sending data.
If the RTS threshold is set to 0, the access point never sends RTS
signals. If set to 2347, the access point always sends RTS
signals. If set to any other value, and the packet size equals or
exceeds the RTS threshold, the RTS/CTS (Request to Send /
Clear to Send) mechanism will be enabled.
The access points contending for the medium may not be aware
of each other. The RTS/CTS mechanism can solve this “Hidden
Node Problem.” (Range: 0-2347 bytes: Default: 2347 bytes)
