Abstract :
The Binary Exponential Backoff (BEB) is used by IEEE 802.15.4 Medium Access Control (MAC). BEB regulates CW abruptly which causes problem of more packet collision and delay oscillating. This paper introduces the game theory into the backoff algorithm of wireless communication. Results from simulation experiments reveal that the new algorithm achieves higher throughput and less packet collision rate in a wireless sensor network environment.
