Abstract
Techniques for avoiding packet collision in wireless communications networks include initializing a first data indicating a plurality of fixed delay values in a range from a minimum delay to a maximum delay and indicating a corresponding plurality of adjustable weights. A first applied delay for a first packet is determined based on the first data. The first packet if transmitted at a time based on the first applied delay. Based on whether transmission of the first packet was successful the first data is adjusted by reducing a first weight of the plurality of adjustable weights for a corresponding first fixed delay value greater than the first applied delay, or by increasing a second weight of the plurality of adjustable weights for a corresponding second fixed delay value smaller than the first applied delay, or both.
