Hello Aditya,

1. I tried checking for the average power but that doesn't work. Even with
two transmitters transmitting at the same time the energy detected by the
receiver doesn't change much. It remains in the same order.
2. Is there any other simpler way of detecting collisions other than the
mentioned paper?


Regards,
Sumedha
