What is request to send(RTS) ? RTS is a pivotal concept in computer networking. It functions as a digital protocol ensuring efficient data transmission, particularly in wireless communication. When a device wants to send data, it initiates an RTS signal, essentially requesting permission to transmit. This preemptive communication helps prevent collisions in shared network spaces, promoting a smoother flow of data. While RTS adds a layer of coordination, it's especially crucial in crowded network environments, where simultaneous transmissions are likely. 2, record 1, English, - Request%20To%20Send
