 == MAC CFG Tx Core A ==
 
-The Tx Core A
+The Tx Core A is fundamentally different than Tx Core B in that its transmission can be qualified on medium idleness. Additionally, it is the transmission state that is capable of honoring a post-Tx timeout interval in which a reception is expected by the MAC state. The DCF implementation uses this core for three different purposes:
+
+1. Transmission and retransmission of MPDU frames
+1. Transmission and retransmission of RTS frames
+1. Transmission of CTS frames
+
+The unifying trait of each of the above transmissions is a condition on medium idleness prior to each. Furthermore, each of the above transmissions utilizes a post-Tx timeout window during which a response is expected.
