An automated maritime container terminal utilizes a dedicated wireless Local Area Network (LAN) to coordinate hundreds of self-driving Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) transporting shipping containers. During peak operations, when all AGVs are simultaneously transmitting real-time telemetry and receiving route updates, the network's latency increases and throughput drops.
Explain three distinct technical reasons why a large number of active wireless devices transmitting simultaneously on this network causes a decrease in overall network performance.
