What are the relative advantages and disadvantages of basic CSMA/CA and CSMA/CA with RTS/CTS protocols? What makes you select one over the other?

What will be an ideal response?


Due to RTS/CTS packets the overhead of data transmission increases. If we have
small DATA packets then it is not worth using the RTS/CTS packets which may
increase the overhead. However, if the DATA packets are bigger in size and the
channel is heavily loaded then using RTS/CTS can prove effective.

For some measuring processes, the uncertainty is approximately proportional to the value of the measurement. For example, a certain scale is said to have an uncertainty of ±2%. An object is weighed on this scale.
