%X The RTS/CTS handshake mechanism in WLAN is studied using stochastic geometry. The effect of RTS/CTS is treated as a thinning procedure for a spatially distributed point process that models the potential transceivers in a WLAN, and the resulting concurrent transmission processes are described. Exact formulas for the intensity of the concurrent transmission processes and the mean interference experienced by a typical receiver are established. The analysis yields useful results for understanding how the design parameters of RTS/CTS affect the network interference.
