Previous experimental studies show that the performance of IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs can be significantly degraded when obstructing moving objects and humans are present in the service area of wireless LANs. We propose the efficient MAC protocol based on the multipolling method to mitigate the interference from obstructing objects.
