If you have contention (busy wifi network channel) you have to back off to 15 slots of contention delay or 30 at most. When things get really bad, you get up to 1023 which equals about 9.2 ...

Backoff algorithms have been introduced to improve network performance by reducing collisions over networks, especially in large ones. The binary exponential back off used in the standard IEEE 802 ...

WiFi devices that use the 5 GHz range are supposed to monitor the bands for radar use and switch frequencies if they detect any. In practice, though, that doesn’t seem to have worked.

Algorithm selects best frequency band in neighbouring networks; improves data To overcome the problem of interference between wireless networks, a doctoral student at EPFL has developed an ...
