Abstract: Medium Access layer in Mobile Adhoc Network is responsible of transmission of packet through the wireless medium, while transmitting the packet all nodes has to intellect the medium before sending the packet. Every node can able to transmit the packet when the medium if free otherwise the nodes have to wait until the medium becomes free. Some cases the transmission range of the node can be idle but due to Hidden and Exposed node, the node could not be sending the packet to other nodes. Node has to wait unnecessarily event the transmission medium is free. This research article proposed the Mutual Exclusion MAC protocol for avoiding hidden and exposed terminal problem in MANET. The proposed protocol is implemented with the support of Network simulator 3 and results are compared with the existing different protocol proposed for the MAC layer with the parameter and better results shown.
