Abstract
Improved protocols for wireless networking are disclosed. At low/zero marginal cost, embodiments enable increased throughput and reduced delays at high traffic density, while greatly reducing message collisions and ensuring that each user is able to transmit in order. By providing a sequencing advantage to nodes that have already been delayed, embodiments can eliminate the 'blocked node' problem in which some nodes are suppressed indefinitely while other nodes are allowed to dominate a communication channel with multiple transmissions. As the wireless traffic density soars in the coming years, embodiments can improve system utility while enhancing user satisfaction by providing higher message success rates, reducing user frustration, minimizing message delays and message collisions, and eliminating node blocking. An array of embodiments can be implemented on existing and planned equipment with appropriate programming. And of vital importance in emergencies, the likelihood of a blocked 911 call can be significantly reduced.
