ABSTRACT:
A first wireless network device in a wireless network that includes a plurality of wireless network devices comprises an RF transceiver that transmits and receives data packets and that periodically transmits or receives a beacon. A control module communicates with the RF transceiver, determines a transmission position m and a default IFS time based on the beacon, selects a second IFS time when the RF transceiver receives a data packet from a second wireless network device having a transmission position m−1, and selects the default IFS time when the RF transceiver does not receive a data packet from the second wireless network device.
