Abstract
A wireless network comprises a plurality of nodes. An access point wirelessly communicates with the plurality of nodes, generates a table comprising a list of the plurality of nodes, and transmits the table to a first node of the plurality of nodes. The first node determines a hidden status of a second node in the table relative to the first node.
