Controlling Random Backoff Time

[Matteo Danieletto]

Hi,
Olekesij, when you write backoff threshold do you mean CWmax, don't you?
Adam, what does control the random backoff mean? Change on the fly the random value chose? 

Also I was looking to find where is chosen the back off value, but I didn’t find the in source code . So I don’t know if the random backoff algorithm is implemented in firmware or inside the chipset .

Cheers
Matteo
