These are some useful references. Regards

• Transmission range is defined between a transmitter and (its) receiver
• Carrier sense range is defined between two transmitters
• Interference occurs at a receiver. Whether it leads to packet corruption is based on the SINR received. Hence the interference range would depend on (a) the distance between a receiver and its transmitter and (b) the distance between a receiver and another transmitter (that is transmitting to a different receiver and whose signals interfere at this receiver).

You can look at this paper where all this is explained through an example along with radio propagation calculations https://tetcos.com/wifi-white-papers.html

Thanks a lot for the responses. I have some understanding how. What would be the correct way to simulate a hidden node and exposed node problem?

You can see https://tetcos.com/help/v13.2/Technology-Libraries/Internetworks.html#hidden_node_behaviour (takes a few seconds to load though) for an understanding of simulating the hidden node problem in NetSim.
