Step 6 - Monitor for RTS Signal
During transmission, the node monitors the media for an RTS signal from any other node that may already be transmitting data. If an RTS signal is received, it stops transmitting and retries after a random delay.
Step 3 - RTS Signal
Optionally, the node may send a Request-To-Send (RTS) signal to the access point.
Step 1 - Data to Transmit
A node has data to transmit.
Step 2 - Check Network
The node determines if the media is available by polling.
Step 5 - Transmit
The node transmits data.
Step 4 - Wait
The node waits until all nodes have had time to receive the jam signal.
