If the DS uses switches, those should be informed of the change of BSS so as to keep their switching tables updated. +\section*{Exercise 5} +Collision detection is \textit{avoided} in IEEE 802.11 since collisions, contrary to IEEE 802.3 Ethernet, are expensive to detect since the power of a received message is significantly lower than the power of transmission. In addition, if collision detection was used scenarios like the hidden terminal problem would not have been avoided. + \end{document}
