Abstract
A method and apparatus for reducing a contention window range of a client device located in a wireless network is described. In one embodiment, network conditions present in the wireless network are monitored. The network conditions are subsequently utilized to determine if the wireless network is small or if traffic in the wireless network is low. Afterwards, the contention window range of the client device is reduced if either of the wireless network is small or if the traffic in the wireless network is low.
