CSMA between APs in same channel & different SSID ?
- by Ranganathan
Would be great if someone clarifies this doubt.
Lets assume two Wireless Access Points AP1 & AP2 with these conditions
1. both in the same 802.11 standard
2. same channel
3. using different SSIDs
(just like in adjacent apartment houses).
In this case, do these two Access points (and the clients associated to them) coordinate via CSMA/CA ? ie., if one of the AP's or a client station is about to transmit, does it wait & observe the other AP's & its clients' transmission before sending the frame in air ?
Also, do the clients associated with these different APs coordinate via CSMA/CA ?
