ABSTRACT:
A system, device, and method for initial ranging that dynamically adjusts the backoff window size to maximize the probability of success during contention access. The invention takes a first system performance measurement using a first backoff window size, a second system performance measurement using a second backoff window size different than the first backoff window size, and determines a third backoff window size based on the first and second system performance measurements.
