In a wireless ad hoc network (MANET), nodes can form a centerless, self-organizing, multi-hop dynamic network without any centralized control function, while hidden and exposed terminals seriously affect the network performance. Meanwhile, the wireless network node is evolving from single communication function to jointly providing a self precise positioning function, especially in indoor environments where GPS cannot work well. However, the existing medium access control (MAC) protocols only deal with collision control for data transmission without positioning function. In this paper, we propose a MAC protocol based on 802.11 standard to enable a node with self-positioning function, which is further used to solve hidden and exposed terminal problems. The location of a network node is obtained through exchanging of MAC frames jointly using a time of arrival (TOA) algorithm. Then, nodes use the location information to calculate the interference range, and judge whether they can transmit concurrently. Simulation shows that the positioning function of the proposed MAC protocol works well, and the corresponding MAC protocol can achieve higher throughput, lower average end-to-end delay and lower packet loss rate than that without self-localization function.
