A new backoff algorithm based on logarithmic function is presented by introducing the parameter which can change with the network state, in allusion to the problems of Binary Exponential Backoff algorithm of IEEE 802.11 MAC. This algorithm dynamic changes the initial value of collision window and the increasing extent of backoff by using the logarithmic function which takes the numbers of network...
