'''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) 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.</b>
