IEEE80211a.rar - The 802.11 standard specifies a carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance(CSMA/CA) protocol. In this protocol, when a node receives a packet to be transmitted, it first listens to ensure no other node is transmitting. If the channel is clear, it then transmits the packet. Otherwise, it chooses a random "backoff factor" which determines the amount of time the node must wait until it is allowed to transmit its packet. During periods in which the channel is clear, the transmitting node decrements its backoff counter.,2011-11-23 06:38:05,下载95次
