SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO DETECT COLLISIONS IN CHANNEL SENSE MULTIPLE ACCESS COMMUNICATIONS

摘要

Methods and systems to perform collision detection (CD) in a communication network. Further, transmitting information in a network includes the steps of initiating transmission over a communication channel (030), monitoring a feedback channel (040), modifying transmission parameters for the transmission over the communication channel (where modifying includes stopping transmission (065) and adjusting transmission parameters (075)), if a feedback transmission is detected while monitoring the feedback channel, a duration of the feedback transmission being smaller than duration of the transmission over the communication channel, and determining whether transmission was successful (125), if transmission continues after modifying transmission parameters.
