The special message that a computer sends to an AP before transmitting data is called a Request to Send (RTS) message. This message is used in a process called RTS/CTS (Ready to Send/Clear to Send) where the computer sends an RTS message to the AP, which responds with a Clear to Send (CTS) message, indicating that it is ready to receive data. This helps to prevent collisions and ensure that data is transmitted reliably. ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) is used to map a network address (such as an IP address) to a physical address (such as a MAC address). CTS (Clear to Send) is the message sent by the AP in response to an RTS message. DNS (Domain Name System) is used to translate human-readable domain names (such as www.google.com) into IP addresses.
