Doubt!!

Can a collission arise while sending a jamming signal?

As noted in the article, for radio systems there is often the possibility that the jamming signal or data transmission will not be detected by another radio, resulting in a collision. This is even more likely for mobile radio systems where often the radio path to another radio may be blocked by terrain effects.--Rjstott 06:59, 3 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

CSMA/CA does not use RTS/CTS

The article incorrectly states that CSMA/CA uses RTS/CTS. That is an improvement in the MACA protocol and is optional in 802.11 protocol.
