Abstract

A medium access control device includes a memory configured to store a plurality of sets of transmission parameters and a plurality of count values. A queue module is configured to store a plurality of frames. A control module is configured to receive a first frame of the plurality of frames from the queue module. A control module is configured to transmit the first frame using a first transmission parameter set of the plurality of sets of transmission parameters until at least one of successful transmission occurs, a number of unsuccessful transmissions is equal to one of the plurality of count values associated with the first transmission parameter set, and a predetermined period expires. The control module is configured to transmit the first frame using a second transmission parameter set in response to the first frame not being transmitted based on the first transmission parameter set.
