Suppose that there are three mobile A, B, and C. The transmission range of A reaches B, but not C. The transmission range of C reaches B, but not A. Finally the transmission range of B reaches A and C.
A starts sending signal to B, C does not receive this transmission. C also wants to send data to B and senses the medium. The medium appears to be free, the carrier sense fails. C also starts sending data. It will create a collision at B. But A cannot detect this collision at B and continues with its transmission. A is hidden for C and vice versa.
