Adaptive Traffic Balancing
n The number of collisions that can be seen by a node over a
certain period can indicate the node mobility or medium
usage condition more precisely than other parameters
Ø The faster nodes move, the larger number of collisions can be
observed by nodes
Ø The larger number of collision happens, the more backoff periods
are and less medium usage is detected
n Method
Ø Nodes measure the medium usage and number of collisions over a
certain period
Ø Based on the number of collisions, a suitable threshold is set
