Subject: [manet] single versus dual channel for MAC

Hi,

Iam presently studying some of the MAC protocols proposed for wireless ad
hoc networks.

Some of them make use of a separate signalling channel for RTS/ CTS
packets and also send a busy tone over the same channel and they send data
over another channel. One such protocol is PAMAS.

I wanted to know what is the additional complexity and cost of having this
separate channel and whehter this approach is better than having a single
channel?

Thankyou

Your help is really appreciated.
