The MAC layer has access to a Receive Signal Strangth Indicator (RSSI) which is used to give the MAC visibility of the current status of the PHY. [[User:DrBob127|DrBob127]] ([[User talk:DrBob127|talk]]) 03:44, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
 
== Figure modification and performance section deletion ==
 
After reading the article I feel that it needs substantial improvement. The figure is misleading, since the transmit application data box is in the RTS/CTS side, thus implying that no application data is transmitted unless RTS/CTS is used.
 
I would remove the performance section altogether. DSSS and FHSS are phy layer techniques and they are somewhat orthogonal to the layer-2 protocol. In fact, new devices use ofdm or mimo-ofdm at the phy layer. The widely cited paper of Bianchi in jsac 2000 offers a performance analysis of dcf, which is a particular implementation of csma/ca.
