The R-DEB selected the back-off slot count in as deterministic a way as possible to avoid network collisions, and also R-DEB introduced randomness to the procedure to preserve the flexibility and ease of deployment which is a feature of random back-off algorithms such as BEB (binary exponential back-off).
In the current IEEE 802,11 wireless LANs, the distributed coordination function (DCF) of the MAC protocol layer uses a binary exponential back-off (BEB) algorithm for fundamental channel access.
Nas atuais LANs sem fio do padrão IEEE 802,11, a função de coordenação distribuída (DCF) da camada de protocolo MAC usa um algoritmo de recuo (back-off) exponencial binário (BEB) para acesso a canais fundamentais.
