    Asymmetric links are common in wireless networks for a variety of physical,
    logical, operational, and legal considerations. An asymmetric link supports
    uni-directional communication between a pair of mobile stations and requires
    a set of relay stations for the transmission of packets in the other
    direction. We introduce a MAC layer protocol for wireless networks with
    asymmetric links (AMAC). The MAC layer protocol requires fewer nodes
    to maintain silence during a transmission exchange than the protocols
    proposed in \cite{Poojary01,Fujii02}. We present a set of concepts and
    metrics characterizing the ability of a medium access control protocol to
    silence nodes which could cause collisions.
