Disclosed herein are systems and methods that are directed to alleviating the hidden node problem occurring in wireless systems by using the simultaneous transmission and reception (STR) capability without increasing the medium access layer (MAC) overhead. Accordingly, a receiving device receiving a data packet from a transmitting device can simultaneously transmit a data packet, called a STR Clear to Send (CTS). This STR-CTS can create a guard zone around the receiving device to avoid collisions from unwanted transmissions from secondary devices, e.g., neighboring STAs and/or APs. In various embodiments, the STR-CTS packet transmitted by the receiving device can be decodable by legacy devices, e.g. legacy STAs and APs, as well as next generation devices, for example, those employing unlicensed technologies such as LAA.
