N2 - The analysis of window backoff strategies for simple multiple-access channels is studied. The online setting using an adversarial queueing model. It is observed that the the window, the packet makes an access attempt during a single randomly selected slot. A simple backoff/backon algorithm, having window sizes that vary nonmonotonically according to a sawtooth pattern, that achieves the optimal makespan of θ(n).
