'''Truncated binary exponential backoff''': In [[carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance]] (CSMA/CA) networks and in [[carrier sense multiple access with collision detection]] (CSMA/CD, the channel access method used, for instance, in [[Ethernet]]) networks, the [[algorithm]] used to schedule retransmission after a collision such that the retransmission is delayed by an amount of [[time]] derived from the [[slot time]] and the number of attempts to retransmit.
