The second paper, "On adaptive contention resolution schemes for IEEE 802.16 BWA systems," addresses the problem of choosing a set of back-off parameters for IEEE 802.16 contention resolution scheme.
The authors have proposed a graph-based algorithm in [18] for improving fairness in WMNs that is based on employing multiple queues per node, using different back-off parameters and EIFS values.
Is the 55-cent McDonald's deal a warning shot across the bow that will make Burger King back off and compete on parameters other than price?
Section 4 introduces the suggested, application sensitive, active RFID protocol which is built on the idea of adaptively choosing the best back-off algorithm parameters.
An adaptive algorithm is proposed in [29] to satisfy a predefined user throughput requirement by optimizing some back-off mechanism parameters.
In order to support a variety of application scenarios with different requirements on energy consumption and read-out delays we have proposed an active RFID protocol with possibility to adaptively change the back-off algorithm parameters.
