Title:	Energy/bandwidth efficient medium access control protocol for wireless packet networks
Inventor:	Summary:	This invention introduces a new medium access control (MAC) protocol invented for high bandwidth wireless packet networks, such as IEEE 802.11a/b/g based wireless LANs. In general, the invention provides media access control in a communication network which includes multiple communication stations coupled over a shared communication medium. Key features include: 1. Separation of random collision avoidance and contention resolution at MAC layer Collision avoidance with fixed back-off window size An efficient, adaptive fair rate control mechanism for contention resolution
