Abstract: A method of delievering data in a wireless communications network using a combination of collision sensing and collision avoiidance protocols. More precisely, if there are no hidden nodes detected in the network, a collision sensing protocol is used; however, if there are hidden nodes, then a collision avoidance protocol is used. This invention also deals with methods of determining the presence or absence of hidden nodes.
