because in a wireless system, collision detection is not possible and there is no way to do error correction so collision avoidance is the only method
CSMA/CD: Carrier Sense Multiple Access / Collision Detection.
No, Ethernet does not use Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA). Instead, Ethernet employs Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD). In CSMA/CD, devices listen to the network before transmitting and can detect collisions that occur, allowing them to retransmit after a random delay. CSMA/CA is primarily used in wireless networks, such as Wi-Fi, to help prevent collisions from occurring in the first place.
The acronym CSMA CD stands for Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection. CSMA CD is a set of rules determining how network devices respond when two devices attempt to use a data channel simultaneously.

Because CSMA/CD does not prevent Hidden terminal problem. so it is onlly applicable in Wired networks.
*** In CSMA/CD it detects that a collision take place and resend the frame that was send. On a wirless network losing bandwidth along with time to detect that a collision took place was not acceptable , so CSMA/CA was utilized. ** CSMA/CD can achieve above 70% efficiency under heavy loads compared to CSMA/CA that can only achieve up to 30% efficiency under heavy loads. CSMA/CA network: A network in which the medium access control protocol requires carrier sense and where a station always starts transmission by sending a jam signal; if there is no collision with jam signals from other stations, it begins sending data; otherwise, it stops transmission and then tries again later. CSMA/CD network: A bus network in which the medium access control protocol requires carrier sense and in which exception conditions caused by collision are resolved by retransmission

A common characteristic of both Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) and Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA) is that they are both network protocols used to manage how multiple devices share a communication channel. They operate on the principle of "carrier sensing," where devices listen to the channel before transmitting data to minimize collisions. While CSMA/CD is primarily used in wired networks and deals with collisions after they occur, CSMA/CA is used in wireless networks and aims to prevent collisions from happening in the first place.
Devices listen to the media and transmit data only when they cannot detect another signal on the media. All devices on the media can hear all communications When a collision occurs, all devices stop transmitting for a randomly generated period of time.
Collisions can decrease network performance.
