B) software
C) PHY
D) MAC

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The MAC (Media Access Control) layer is responsible for the control of the physical access to the shared medium. It is here where techniques such as Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA), which is used to avoid collisions on the wireless medium, are implemented. The MAC layer also governs the data rates utilized in the communication process. Therefore, focusing on improving coexistence between Bluetooth and WLANs at the MAC layer is a logical choice.
