Efficient usage of available capacity in wireless mesh networks is critical. Capacity is wasted due to the exposed terminal problem. In this paper, we propose a solution to mitigate the exposed terminal problem in static IEEE 802.11-based mesh networks, thereby improving the spatial reuse of the med...
