Analysis of link-layer backoff schemes on point-to-point Markov fading links.

Analysis of link-layer backoff schemes on point-to-point Markov fading links.

Backoff algorithms are typically employed in multiple-access networks (e.g., Ethernet) to recover from packet collisions. We propose and carry out the analysis for three types of link-layer backoff schemes, namely linear backoff, exponential backoff, and geometric backoff, on point-to-point wireless...
