Idle-signal casting multiple access with collision resolution (ICMA/CR) protocol for wireless LAN

摘要

The authors propose an idle-signal casting multiple access with collision resolution (ICMA/CR) protocol for wireless LAN. This protocol focuses on efficient collision resolution by adopting the binary-tree protocol. By using the collision resolution algorithm, the retransmission process can be controlled so that collisions are resolved more efficiently using nearly immediate feedback information, thereby increasing the throughput-delay performance of the ICMA/CD protocol.
