Handling hidden and exposed terminal problems using agent based access schema

Ad hoc network is a collection of wireless nodes dynamically forming a topology without any existing infrastructure. Because of the absence of locality, it is highly open to number of hidden and exposed terminal problems. Hence it is essential to design a MAC protocol with more consideration. In this paper, a mobile agent based MAC is introduced which roaming across the network, gathering information about dynamically changing environment. The main purpose of this paper is to ease the hidden and exposed terminal problems.
