ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment, the present invention is a computer implemented method for assigning a back-off interval to an intermediary network access device in a Carrier Sense Multiple Access (CSMA) network. The number of client devices concurrently attempting to access said network via said intermediary network access device is first determined. The back-off interval is then determined based upon the number of client devices concurrently attempting to access the network via the intermediary network access device and is assigned to the intermediary network access device.
