ABSTRACT: Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a wireless
network consisting of mobile devices (laptops, smart phones, etc.) that move
and communicate with each other without the use of any existing network
infrastructure or centralized server to avoid collisions which have negative
effects on the performance of the network. Access to the shared media is
controlled by a Backoff algorithm that is a part of the Media Access Protocol.
In this paper, we improve the History Based Probabilistic Backoff (HPPB)
algorithm by modifying the increment/decrement behavior of the Contention
Window to introduce History Based Increment Backoff (HBIB) algorithm which
outperforms HBPB in terms of throughput and end-to-end delay with various
numbers of nodes and different traffic loads.
