Towards collisions : an enhanced successive interference cancellation with asynchronism by Li, Qiang., Ting, See Ho., Motani, Mehul., Pandharipande, Ashish.

“…In this paper, we consider a hidden terminal scenario where two transmitters A and B, hidden to each other, wish to communicate to a common access point, AP. When a collision occurs at AP, due to the inherent asynchrony between the colliding packets, the mutual interference between them is effectively decreased. …”
