Abstract  Abstract

A station which broadcasts a frame of information over a wireless local area network, waits a predetermined time calculated to allow other stations to gain access to the network, and thereafter broadcasts another frame of information. A method is provided which improves access fairness while reducing the collision probability, thereby increasing data throughput in the network.
