The RTS/CTS (Request to Send/Clear to Send) protocol is used in wireless networks to avoid collisions that can occur when multiple devices try to transmit at the same time. In RTS/CTS, a host sends a request to send message to the access point, which responds with a clear to send message if it is available to receive the data. This ensures that only the intended recipient is listening when data is transmitted, reducing the likelihood of collisions.
