  • the CW parameter takes the CWmin value as an initial value, but if the transmission fails, the value is doubled. For example, if an ACK response for a transmitted data frame is not received, a collision can be considered. If the CW value has a CWmax value, the CWmax value is maintained until the data transmission is successful, and the data transfer succeeds and resets to the CWmin value. At this time, CW, CWmin, CWmax is preferable to maintain 2 n -1 for convenience of implementation and operation.
  • the station selects a random backoff count within the range of [0 CW] and continues to monitor the medium while the backoff slot counts down. In the meantime, if the medium is busy, it stops counting down and resumes counting down the remaining backoff slots when the medium becomes idle again.

In FIG. 6, the station 2, which has selected the smallest backoff count, transmits a data frame.
