CSMA/CA ======= This model simulates the Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA) protocol. CSMA/CA is widely used in wireless networks, particularly in IEEE 802.11 (WiFi) networks. The model demonstrates how nodes: - Listen to the channel for DIFS before transmitting (carrier sensing) - Use random backoff times to avoid collisions - Implement the RTS/CTS handshake mechanism - Implement the channel contention and backoff time freeze The supplied omnetpp.ini file contains 3 predefined configurations: - CSMA/CA at high load (utilization =~ max) - CSMA/CA at moderate load - CSMA/CA at low load
