Abstract

See full text

A network for sensing, communicating and controlling where a plurality of cells communicate with one another through packets. When a cell receives a packet, it determines the baud rate of the received packet and stores this rate. In replying to the packet a cell uses a backoff algorithm to determine how many slots it must wait before replying. The duration of these slots is determined based upon the stored baud rate.
