"Hidden node" problem can be avoided by the use of RTS-CTS (request to send, clear to send). RTS-CTS are optional but can be enabled. You can also specify a threshold in the size of the packet under which RTS-CTS will not be used, in which case the hidden node problem might occur for those packets. RTS-CTS will solve the hidden node problem, but will consume BW. Mathieu.
