==Details==

Collision avoidance is used to improve the performance of the [[Carrier carrier-sense multiple access|CSMA]] method by attempting to divide the channel somewhat equally among all transmitting nodes within the collision ___domain.

# '''Carrier Sense''': prior to transmitting, a node first listens to the shared medium (such as listening for wireless signals in a wireless network) to determine whether another node is transmitting or not. Note that the [[hidden node problem]] means another node may be transmitting which goes undetected at this stage.
