Abstract
This paper proposes a method to improve the robustness of the carrier sense system for opportunistic MAC (OMAC). This carrier sense method is specific for MIMO and the new version here illustrated is robust to noise and interference. Network simulations prove that this modified MIMO carrier sense correctly estimates whether a new communication would harm other ongoing transmissions for a wide range of system parameters.
